Susannah taking the plunge in cornwall
For years I disliked swimming. I’m not talking about splashing around doing breaststroke in the Med (who doesn’t like that?) – I mean doing lengths or swimming for fitness. It would bring back memories of school swimming tests in icy waters wearing soggy pyjamas. I wasn’t a bad swimmer (I was in the team) but the feeling of being out of breath in water is terrifying and enough to put you off for life.
However, in my late 30s that all changed. I decided to do a triathlon (there are worse midlife clichés). I wasn’t afraid of cycling, my running would be slow and steady, but swimming 750 metres in a murky lake? That scared me. A triathlete’s stroke of choice is front crawl, and I could only manage about two lengths without exhausting myself.
