Generally agree. But swimming clubs tend to be a lot more inclusive in my experience - if you're keen to swim, then in most towns in Sussex, you'll find a club working hard to get you in (and keep you in) the pool! Can't say the same about tennis.

Still, yesterday at...
How many times did we make it to the half-way line, then turn, pass it across the defence and onto the opposite wing. And repeat. Probably even more when we were 0-2 down than earlier in the game. Great for possession stats, not so good for creating a threat. Obviously it is the only...
