Oh yes Wilmar. The wetter the better.
Although we have streams and rivers here in the UK, there are nowhere like as many as in Holland. I read an article a while back that stated that that was the reason for the way swimming is taught over there, with the accent more on safety than speed.
There is no equivalent to the Dutch swimming programme here in the UK. When I first came across the videos, I was amazed to see kids jumping in pools with their outer clothes on. But, to you it seems natural.
I believe you have lots of water carnivals and such like in Holland. We have very little like that over here. Shame we don't really.
Thanks again for the reply.
