Respawning, this time as a Selkie.

[Littlenose]

Back here after.... oh, eons away, and looking for some accountability in my 2024 sporting / fitness goals.

 

Swimming is not a thing I have enjoyed, for lots of reasons to do with body image / esteem  / noise (in indoor pools) / people but mostly because I have not great eyesight and not being able to see well in the pool just adds to the general stress.

 

Now, I have some new shiny swimming goggles with prescription lenses and they are an absolute revelation. 

 

This year (2024) I will:

Enter and complete a swimrun race,

Swim a mile in open water in under 1 hour,

Achieve the RLSS swimming standard for a pool lifeguard.

 

Bonus points available if I actually qualify as a pool lifeguard  but this will involve dragging my fat old arse onto a lifeguarding course with a bunch of spotty youths that swim like eels.

 

Anyway, I'm back and now I'm a Selkie. Hold me to it, gang!
