About Me

I’m Dunkan. I’m a duck. I don’t quack but I do blog and tweet. Sadly, neither do I swim but I’m getting there. Here’s my motto: "A duck can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done." I WILL learn to swim. I MUST!

I'm swimming, not floating!

Last night, I had some help from a human duckling named Georgie in the bubblebath. Karen, one of my friends at Tangerine took me home and introduced us and Georgie was excited to help.


I was scared at first to jump into the Bubblebath without my life-saving float but a duck's got to do what a duck's got to do and so I closed my eyes, jumped in and... almost drowned in the first moment of shock. But Georgie took hold of me and helped me adjust. He makes a good teacher.

After a while he could let go of me and I was swimming on my own! The bubbles seemed to carry me just like my float used to or was swimming maybe less difficult than I thought? And in the end, Georgie and I could even joke around wearing funny hats.


I have only three more days left to learn how to swim properly. If you believe in me, please sponsor me for the Spinningfields Duck Race on my Just Giving Page! It'll help, no matter how small the amount.
