Well folks....as well the group beginners class am taking, I met up with a personal swim coach yesterday. She asked to see what have learned so far, and it seems that have gone from not knowing how to swim at all in under 1 month to going halfway of 25m pool that comes right up to my neck, doing...

I did indeed google it and found the site after I asked the question  ;D The wife and I were talking about this yesterday, and she was glad to hear that one gets to pick from 3 choices. She likes Kingston, as her brother who is an officer in the Navy, use to live there, but is now in Ottawa...

Pardon my ignorance, what is CFJSR?

Thanks for that fellas.....it's just that given the option, I'll rather stay around the Ottawa/Kingston area. Is it possible to request this?

Hello there, Just wondering where DEO normally get posted to right after St Jean and Kingston training are done? Sorry if this has already been asked! I know there is the NATO colorado spring option later on down the road, but am more interested in the immediate locations in Ontario? Cheers

I plant to do 11 minutes or less for my 2.4km run this coming weekend, after only managing 22 minutes for 2.67km this past weekend. This was partly my fault, as I didn't do any warm-ups, and just started sprinting from my front door. For the experts on here....how would you advice me to take on...

You are a gentleman and a scholar squire  ;)

Am in the 35 and over group, but you won't think so looking at me.  ;) What is the stage for my group then? Cheers

What is the allowed size for suitacases for St Jean and does one get to have access to it all the time once there? For clothes am guessing 5 sets of civilian clothing should be OK, along with a pair of dress shoes, running shoes and casual sneakers?

That is a good one.....joker  ;D Talking of fliying out to St Jean, is citizenship card good enough to board the plane, or do we have to bring our passport?

Funny you should mention the belt, my wife suggested that on Saturday when she was teaching me, but 1 of the lifeguards there was suggesting otherwise

What's your age group JS25?

Went for 1 of my twice a week swimming classes yesterday. I was told my breast stroke which I only started learning on Saturday thanks to my wife and daughter, is getting better  ;) I just need to perfect the leg a bit more and remember to stretch my arms out to the fullest before I start...

Are you always like this, or you are just making an extra effort for me?  :o

No need to spring out of control. It was the last bit of your post that I needed clearance on, as there are conflicting posts out there.

This is the question am hoping the experts on here can answer regarding the CF test. At home, when I put my feet under our platform bed, I can do a lot of situps, but when no one is holding my feet, I can't go as far as my elbows touching my knees. So the question again, how is it done at St...

First off I just want to say I know I can do better than  I did today, but I didn't have breakfast before I went out and I didn't sprint either. From my front door to the 2nd stop sign along the path behind my subdivision brought me to 2.67km and I did this in 22.01 minutes and the time was the...

Thanks Timex! I had the 2 best teachers ever yesterday, my wife and 12yr old daughter, even our 2 month old baby came along. They got me doing the breast stroke from one end of the pool in the shallow end to the other, we spent 3hrs there, as it was family day swimming at the pool. We came to...

Nice one Kyle! It's like they have a habit of calling when you are least expecting it. They called me hours before our baby was delivered, I sure wasn't expecting the call that day back in April  ;D Now change the signature on your avatar  :salute:

I didn't do too good at my swimming class yesterday, and I left feeling dejected.  When I had the flippers on my feet and a noodle around me, I was able to swim backwards, but as soon as they came off, I just couldn't keep my legs straight and toes pointed out. I do have a problem with my body...
