Swimming

Swimming in clean, natural water is great fun and good for your health. I get in the water whenever possible. Places I like to swim are in the ocean, rivers, waterfalls, springs and rock-pools. I’m not into swimming pools, they don’t really excite me. Most of my travel is to destinations that have good places to swim.

Throwing me off the steps at Berry Springs	Snorkelling on the reef - Ningaloo
Lifting out at Torackina	High tide - Wooli River
Taking a bath at Sandy Cape	Floating around edith falls

Description: Most of these places require lifting by at least 2 people to get into the water. Some beaches in Australia have a wheelchair with big tyres that roll over soft sand and into the water. I sometimes use my stainless steel shower chair to roll into the water, but usually I park as close to the water as possible and get carried the rest of the way.
