I had a swim in the river today this pastime has become popular in the last week or so due to the heatwave we are having at the moment. This river swimming involves a lot clambering over stones things I have not done since I was child and therefore I have not used those muscles since I was a child in that way and weakness was obvious, I did fall and I have slipped a couple of time which I guess is quite dangerous as I could fall and bang my hea d etc and be lying there for I have no idea for how long and.I guess it could be dangerous as I am on my own It is very nice in the water though a bit cold at the start but you get use to it after a while and I have found a pool I can swim round the buoyancy in a river is not so good as in a swimming pool but the water is cleaner and its more natural I did bang my leg a few times on the stones . It is July and I guess the swimming in the river will come to and end pretty soon as it will get too cold, the level of the water is pretty low these
