Re: Swiiming test
Why were having to do a swimming test??
Are you a first responder or rescue person??

I guess that you, DutchRobert, are new here, welcome to the club. Maybe an intro story under the new members section could be an idea.

Hi Dutch Robert,
Welcome. No, I have never swum in a skirt. Last time I swam in the Netherlands was on a fine September day not far from Enkhuizen on the Ijsselmeer when I was on board an old gaffer barge with my old German Shanty-choir. Our skipper hove to and trailed lines aft, maintaining about half a Knot of forward speed. Most of us went over board and swam in the 20 degree warm water, hitching a ride holding on to the trailing warps, which was fun.
On the following afternoon he came to a total stop and we most of us swam right round the ship. Murky water though, not like the clear Mediterranean.
