Jimi Hendrix dreamed of swimming from bed to breakfast
See Rolling Stone
A week before Jimi Hendrix unexpectedly passed away in 1970, he sat down with British journalist Keith Altham for what would be his last known interview. PBS’ animated web series Blank on Blank has gotten hold of the audio tapes and animated six minutes of their conversation, where Hendrix lightheartedly explains his views on politics, radicals, raging against the machine and more. […]
Along with more serious topics, Hendrix also addresses what he thinks a successful lifestyle should entail. “I want to get up in the morning, just roll over in my bed to an indoor swimming pool and swim to the breakfast table. Come up for air, get a drink of orange juice . . . Is that luxurious?”

Every child deserves to learn to swim
Swimming is a vital skill that can help prevent drowning. But not everyone has the chance to learn to swim, and it’s those most at risk who miss out.
The YMCA Swimathon 2014 is a fundraising event being held on 2 March. The event encourages people of all ages and abilities to swim laps and fundraiser to help give people in our community the chance to learn to swim.
By donating to the YMCA you can help provide swimming lessons for disadvantaged children. With your help, last year we raised money so over 5,000 kids didn’t miss out on vital swimming lessons.
YMCA has been helping young people be more active for over 160 years. Each year we teach over 52,000 children water safety skills they will have for life.
