Thank you Jason, for an enjoyable return to the water for me after many months away. I’m an avid cyclist so the water is not my first port of call, unlike my darling fish Johanna, but it was good to be part of a structured session, with such a helpful group of people and a lovely atmosphere, as much as it was hard work! I’ll definitely be back to learn how to do the drills properly and to improve my overall stroke and pace.
