I am glad they found you a badge. My goal is to one day swim the Rottnest Chanel Swim, it is just over 19km. Once I can afford the regular pool entry I will start training. I am trying to talk my boys into doing it with me as a relay swim but they are afraid of the possibility of sharks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893669562473986542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347085712415877885.post-70562576991622886752013-03-06T21:37:19.153+00:002013-03-06T21:37:19.153+00:00What lovely, precious things you have in your memo...What lovely, precious things you have in your memory box xJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138701426913307085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347085712415877885.post-32458960258272275022013-03-05T01:18:47.953+00:002013-03-05T01:18:47.953+00:00I don't have a treasure box but I think it is ...I don't have a treasure box but I think it is a lovely idea and I might have to organise one I think.

I was in a similar position when we did a charity swim at my regular pool, but they left the pool open for me. Everyone else was out and dressed but I kept on and on and wouldn't give up. I think it was 5 miles I got - my one and only sporting achievement.Julie Jhttp://jsquaredscrapspot.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347085712415877885.post-28052577089776287032013-03-03T21:22:32.187+00:002013-03-03T21:22:32.187+00:00Oh that is a lovely story of the 1000m badge :) Gl...Oh that is a lovely story of the 1000m badge :) Glad you've shared it here.Missus Wookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137463465514115553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347085712415877885.post-31717651141823622492013-03-03T19:14:51.032+00:002013-03-03T19:14:51.032+00:00I don't enjoy swimming but I can imagine how p...I don't enjoy swimming but I can imagine how precious that badge is to you.

I never achieved any swimming badges myself, although, like you, swimming is the only sport I even half enjoyed; so I can understand how you must have felt when they found the right badge, just for you!<br /><br />I like your point about the carefully curated treasures too..I'm often all about the random, but I really see how the chosen few make for a special collection.
