I am 13 yrs old I would say if you are goimg to do it get on and do it then/
why bother what your parents think or if they would let you.
your 13 yrs old they are your clothe and your shoes and socks .
just go to the local pool get the ok fo the pool manger and get on and do it if you can swim?
Ho by the way if i were you I would also take a full change of clothe just in case as they probabley willnot let you jump in in the clothe you are wearing when you get to the pool they will have you change if your parents are with you when you do it then you willsoon know what they think but at the ned of the day it your choise just get on and do it stop been a chicken ho and good luck:cool::lol::yeah:

I honestly think the pool wouldn't let you swim fully clothed. I understand you have your reasons, but the public pool probably wouldn't give a fuck.

I think you have to be 16 to d o the rls medallion

But they do a junior course as well - just depends if you local pool offer it.


I doubt they would just let you turn up and swim clothed - but why not ask.

When I trained for open water swims like a lake or sea I swam in t shirt and track pants to build stamina and it certainly does.
