Today was Good Friday. We started the day with a swim at our
local pool in Littlehampton. Because it was a bank holiday, Sunday opening times
were in operation. With one voice, all the people who turned up to swim thirty
minutes later than usual, were surprise that so many others had decided it would
be a good way to start the Easter weekend. It was really crowded.
My friend
Bekka and I sought our usual swim spot that is just outside the Fast Lane;
that is usually in place to keep the animals (My husband and all the guys he
coaches) away from real people. Bekka and I have perfected a technique of
swimming in a very small amount of space and not disturbing anybody else. We
swim one directly behind the other in a shoulders width of water space. This means
that the only time either of us moves out of the eighteen inches of space is to
allow the other to pass. Over the years we have perfected this method. We can
pass breast to breast in the same small space and not touch.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the rest of the world tried this hard,
to work together and not disturb the rest of our environment or deliberately try
to force our will on the rest of the world without trying to negotiate a
peaceful path.
