> How I wish you'd been around to teach me to swim when I was 11, instead of a teacher who seemed a lazy, insensitive bully and who almost managed to put me off for life - until, many years later, I found this site and realised my secret enjoyment of getting wet in clothes could motivate me to learn to swim, with a target of being able to swim in clothes when the opportunity arises. I started taking adult lessons, and I've persevered ever since, although I'm still not a good swimmer and I haven't made progress lately, still experiencing unease in deep water.

> Your approach to lessons is more original and much more fun - I'm sure my fears would soon have been overcome by enjoyment, as long as I didn't get too carried away!

> I spotted a few years ago that my old school was advertising private adult swimming lessons using the school pool. Things have obviously changed since I was there, which was over 40 years ago so it's hardly surprising. I thought of getting in touch, but decided I probably wouldn't do well in a facility associated with some bad memories.

> Your school seems to have more of an emphasis on sports and physical fitness than mine did, but it also seems to have more open-minded attitudes, and it's clearly getting great results - helped by great coaching by a few of its final-year students! Keep up the good work!

> By the way, soon after you were playing football in the rain, I nearly got flooded... see below in "wet fun today"...
