yeah, I went for my 12 metre badge at school, only trouble was it was straight DOWN!! if it hadn't been for a couple of the lifesaving class I wouldn't have made my 13th birthday....these days the only water I go in is the shower!!
Mate, swimming could potentially be really important post SHTF. Truth is, I love swimming, have my PADI Advanced, and love getting out when I can and enjoying a little ocean goodness, as well as the usual 2 litres of sea water swallowed and enjoyed haha.
You might enjoy swimming if you could learn a simple method? Have you thought about Total Emersion Swimming?
at my age mate I just stay out of the water !!
ive been considering one of these inflatable cannoes, could be especially usefull since i live near a river
they are due in my local store this Thursday the 24th...try again then Devonian.

Total immersion swimming??
Isn't that the layman's term for drowning?
As for the inflatable kayak, I would recommend a 10" section of 2" PVC pipe duct taped down the keel to keep it from folding in the middle, which these cheap inflatables are prone to do.
I have an inflatable and find I live in terror of puncturing it on every use. It is a true nightmare in shallow streams and rivers with submerged hazards.
I much prefer my ridged cat.
