The Sea Angels will be waiting for you Thomas!!!! If Angles make it look effortless, it’s only because they eat beans for two weeks prior to the big day, and are full of gas on the day. This makes them more buoyant, and gives them an added propulsion….and then there’s the mermaids…. no gas needed we them. Tesla’s of the water…The difference between what seems “fast” and “slow” sometimes can be really pretty small. Nice you took time to write about your experience. I think your being pretty modest in the description of your personal challenge. Happy Swimming! (you can observe whether Angels are con gas, or no gas by seeing how bloated their bellies are before the big swim…skinny belly = mer-maid/man/person!)
