The island of Elba is a tourist destination which attracts visitors from all
over the world thanks to its unspoilt environment. It is a haven for
cetaceans in the largest marine park in Europe and with the fascination of
its underwater landscapes, it is the ideal location for Marelba, the great
festival of sea ...

Essential Equipment
Fri, 29 Dec 2006 14:25:15 -0000
Any parent will know, to their cost (literally), that a young swimmer's
street cred nowadays depends not on performance in the water, but on having
the right collection of equipment to take to the pool. Clothes must all have
the right logo, their other functions being of secondary importance. The
rest of the stu ...

You are what you eat
Thu, 14 Dec 2006 10:39:15 -0000
Really keen coaches (i.e. control freaks) , as well as trying to make you
swim faster than is natural, often try to control every other aspect of your
life as well. Chief among their lifestyle obsessions is diet. I was brought
up in an age when 'diet' meant trying to loose weight, but nowadays your
diet is every ...

Don't panic!! I am a lifesaver!
Sat, 2 Dec 2006 15:25:06 -0000
In an uncharacteristic fit of altruism the other day, I offered to help save
the club money by acting as lifeguard. I was smugly sure that my smartly
polished Royal Life Saving Society Bronze Medal would dazzle the Pool
manager in to agreeing. Imagine my humiliation when she turned it over and
notified me that i ...

The following letter appears in the December edition of "Swimming" magazine
(the journal of the [British] Amateur Swimming Association). I would welcome

Enthusiastic Amateurs
Sun, 19 Nov 2006 11:39:22 -0000
Jim and I have been insulting each other for some years now. This is
normally done at morning training, as we rarely see each other elsewhere to
do so. Also, having just fallen out of bed and in to the pool at 6 a.m.,
there is plenty of ammunition for well judged insults which are safe from
any action for slan ...

MP3 and Swim...
Sat, 11 Nov 2006 17:37:14 +0100
Hi there!
Since MP3-Players are already well spread, and got quite cheap, I am
looking for a solution to listen for some good music during my long
distance training.
Is it worth to buy such thing?
Have anyone already experience with any waterproof MP3-Players?
What about the headphones? Which type/model ...

Masters of the Universe
Sat, 11 Nov 2006 08:11:37 -0000
Although I have been a member of a Masters club for some time, I don't like
the term. I think it is inaccurate. The term 'Master' conjures up the vision
of some giant of the discipline whose towering achievements allow him or her
to excel in action and whose words of wisdom fall effortlessly from
sagacious lips ...
