swimming

my aim is to take great photography with myself (the subject) in it most of the time to upload on blogs, social media, etc. I know i can mount it on tripod and then hit the remote or do a self timer but is there another easier way? for eg. say i am the swimmer. I want to take a shot of my head...

I went on a nature walk today, with the same lens as before, hopefully these are better than the last ones. Haha. I have some more of some little birds and ducks, but I don't feel they're good enough to keep. I don't know. Maybe I'll post them.

Feel free to comment and critic.
