How much do we know about Woggles?


Another Tuesday and another lesson,

My big question today is how much do we know about Woggles?

For those who don't know what they are,Woggles are cylindrical piece of polyethylene foam, sometimes hollow. Woggles or Pool Noodles are used by people of all ages while swimming. They are useful when learning to swim, for floating, for rescue reaching.

As a kid using woggles during your lesson or even during a family day out swimming, is a lot of fun however it's a different story as you get older.

As an Adult learner using a woggles is little bit intimidating, there is a level or discomfort, the voice in the back of your head keep telling you you're a grown up so surely you don't need one, or maybe your'e embarrassed to use one because you see kids 10-15 years younger than you swimming perfectly without one.

I can say this because I've been in the same situation before, however believe me when i say this, once you get your head round the idea of you're there to learn something new, if you really want to learn you would try anything that helps.

Leaning  to swim is the same as any other skill I've learned in the past or even like passing an exam. I wouldn't have passed my 6th form or uni assignments/exams if I didn't prepare for them, or I wouldn't be driving a car now if I didn't listen to my instructor.

what I'm trying to say is if you've made it as far getting into the water, don't let anything hold you back, Just go for it because the results is very satisfying.

Super Duck


 The big news is I'm back in the water....






I had my first Swimming lesson in over 2 months on Tuesday and amazingly it went well. whoever said swimming is a skill and once you learn it you know it for life was right.



It was a huge motivation knowing I haven't been wasting my time week after week taking these lessons,
SOMETHING HAS SANK IN.

Although I have came a long way since I started, there is still a long way to go too and I am very keen on mastering this skill. HOW HARD CAN IT BE....
