What about sea water?

I am okay as long as I avoid contact with eyes - the skin tissue around the eyes can react to salt (googles help) and other chemicals in seas water - probably safer in less polluted waters. That of course excludes UK. Might be going to your country of orgin. My brother came back from Majorca. His family were planning for Turkey but then cancelled after that coup thing in Turkey. He was okay but his wife got all jittery and said kids safety was more important.

es,

Well same in UK. Every school zone had a swimming pool mostly from the Victorian period. Swimming was mandatory - one lesson a week from 5 years to 16 years. Along the way there was a graded system of tests and certs issued. I took all of them and by 12 was fully certified. The top level cert. required you to swim while supporting and extracting a "disabled" student.

And same as Netherlands you have to pay now. By 1990s the Victorian pools required major work as most over over century old. The councils did not have money to build new pools and instead private sector built fancy pools. Now everybody has to use them them. The municipal pools of yore are gone.

Oh don't smoke please

This is for everyone.
Smoking of all things is single biggest enemy for health.
Those who do, Quit before an irreversible damage occurs.

A joke with retirement planners is that if you want to easily have enough money saved for retirement just take up heavy smoking. Since it will shorten your life you won't need as much money to retire.

Wise words - Every smoker here on PDF needs to take heed of. Every puff takes you nearer to inevitable disaster.

I do 3.6 miles (1.2 mile circuits around my park) every day taking average 70 minutes. My average has dropped over last three years. I used to clock in just under 60 minutes but my system is has gone through some shocks that have done damage. To keep within these time frames I have to walk at brisk pace - any faster you break out into jog.

On the weekend I do 4-5 circuits clocking in average 5 miles. I would highly recommend this to all. Find a hour during the day and keep to it in rain, sun or snow. Buy decent trainers or you will end up with corns and blisters.

Begin slowly then as you warm up floor the pedal. To the tail end slow down gradually. Buy a heart rate monitors and stay within your ideal band which will change as you get fitter. Unfortunately I have to take some Ramipril tablets but despite that thanks to my lifetime habit of jogging/walking I still lead very active life.

Oh don't smoke please - I was told to not do it. I paid no heed. Now I regret it badly ...

Have you tried champix tablets to stop smoking.My mate smoked 30 a day got prescribed them from doctor and by day two he stopped smoking.
