Great story! I wonder where that pair of underpants ended up?!

To my regret I never learned to swim properly. I had lesson after lesson at school and after school, and my parents would take us to the pool regularly. Best efforts were made. It never really happened for me, though.

A few years ago I came across my dad at the end of the pool at the local gym I used to belong to. I finished doggy-paddling the length I was doing - one of fifty - and greeted him. He was laughing. 'I KNEW it was you even before I saw it was you! I'd recognise your swimming style a mile off!'

One day I might have another go at learning properly.

Sounds like something that would have happened to me as a kid. Hilarious! :)

May I ask a silly question? Did you catch the culprit? 😉 Seriously though, I really enjoy your honest tone of writing. It speaks to me on so many different levels, so thanks for sharing it.
