All posts by hanburyline. We are the champions! March 30, 2016. It’s been about a year since I went to an aqua aerobics class at my local pool my feeble excuse being no time .

Fortunately I was still allowed to swim in the part of the pool not roped off for them. So I ploughed up and down on my own, casting envious glances over the rope from time to time. Can you swim and if so, how well?

Don’t ask, don’t tell. We found that doctors were...
