Action - Swimming

I had been swimming irregularly before - only whenever i felt like it. 
This last week i have started doing it more frequently and regularly. at the moment my plan is to go swimming from 6pm to 7pm every monday, tuesday, thursday and sunday. im hoping to improve my fitness and my skill in swimming. to begin with i'm just going to do laps in freestyle and breaststroke, and after ive set in this routine i can start learning and practicing other techniques.at the moment i have no supervisor, which is something i need to find in order to track my progress.

MUN - Working on Practice Debate Topics

With the conference appraoching, the topics for the practice debates have to be finalized. since ECOSOC has a new approach in which to make the conference more current, technical and intense, the practice debates will be important in for delegates who are new to ECOSOC. Each succesive practice debate will have to be slightly harder, and introduce more ideas. For the Conference i am planning to include the Eurozone crisis and the credit crunch. For the 1st Practice debate, we are hoping to include a very simple topic, not nessacerily economic. This is becuase the 1st day will be for the delegates to learn the format.
My Ideas for the 2nd debate is regarding the economies of the countries recovering from the Arab Spring, like Lybia, Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, whether foriegn help should be given, or whether to allow them to recover by themselves, and the strategies that should be taken.
The 3rd Debate, I think should that currency manipulation should be the focus. this is a more technical topic and should prepare the delegates well for the conference.
