Belly flop

Got drenched today coming back from the pool. Yes folks I've been swimming two days on the trot. On day one I managed eight lengths before I felt exhausted and paddled around in the shallow end. When you're a child there's so much to do, even when you can't manage a length. I remember splashing my brother and chasing each other around. I was once told to leave after a succession of 'bombing' into the pool and ducking my brother's head under repeatedly. When we weren't barred we spent day after day of the holidays practising our dives into the deep end. I couldn't do those things now, well if I did waves of tsunami proportions would propel across the pool after I belly flopped in. So I won't. Well I might have one little practise dive tomorrow, for old time's sake.
