“Have you got creaky knees or achey hips? Do you grimace every time you have to climb a set of stairs?

Everyday movements can become a chore when the cartilage in your joints starts to break down, making them stiff and sore.

Sore joints are the hallmark of the condition known as osteoarthritis. And since it’s increasingly common as we age, it’s easy to assume a lifetime of activity is to blame.

Hi Open Water and Aerobic Swimmers,

Graham and I have devised a way of recording our Open Water Swims and our Timed Aerobic Swims (½  Hour,   ¾   Hour,  and 1 Hour) on the clubs Team Manager 6.0 software programme.  I will be entering all the timed aerobic swims back to January 2008 over the next few months as Graham has all those at hand.  If you want your Open Water Swims recorded then you will have to get the results yourselves and hand them or email them to me for entering into the database.

If you ever want a copy of your swim results back to January 2008 please contact myself or Graham and we will supply you a copy.  They are a very good indicator of how your swimming is going and an invaluable tool for working out your best choice of swims for the current Club Championships format.
