go swimming

I used to love swimming. As a child I swam in the sea all through the summer (even in that cold Scottish sea, yes). I knwo there were cold days and freezing days, and wet days but all I can remember is the sun and the pale blue sky and the dark blue sea. And Mum ready with towels and chittering bites when we got out of the water.

Now I’m overweight and far from the sea. But I’ve bought a swimming costume and would love to go swimming again.

So what stops me?

I won’t answer that. If I write them down they might become more important.
