Het is zomer, de tijd om lekker te luieren en bij te komen van alle harde zwemtrainingen van het afgelopen jaar. Wedstrijden zijn er door corona niet of nauwelijks (de zwemkalender is dan ook grotendeels leeg) Dus in plaats van naar het zwembad dan maar met een boek in de hand naar het strand.
En waar lezen we dan over? Uiteraard over zwemmen!
