Swimming

I have two questions for you

How far do you reckon you can swim?
and
What's your favourite stroke?

Also share some interesting stories you have of swimming pools incidents (eg relieving yourself in the pool, losing your trunks to a loose nail on the water slide, slamming your head through the diving board, hot girls wearing bikinis etc).

I have also made a poll for the second of my questions so rather than wasting valuable seconds on that porno site do something worthwhile and vote!

lol I managed to begin a thread without using the word 'so'

Breaststroke was always my favourite, and I was quite good at it. People said I was good at Front Crawl too, but goddd that made me so tired so quickly ;_;

I don't swim much anymore, so I probably can't go very far.

Doggy paddle. :(

I'm a poor swimmer, all I can do is front crawl :(

I'm a fairly decent swimmer but I don't bother with the butterfly, breast, blahityblah strokes. Screw 'em. As far as distance, I dunno, I've never tried. I have swam the distance of an olympic sized swimming pool a few times though. Back and forth and whatnot. Fun.

I got yelled at for saving my drowning brother once. That was stupid.

I stand and walk on water like those ninja. :bigsmile:

I'm good at breaststroke. Mainly cause i gotta lot of power when i swim and excel further than most people.
I remember when i used to get nasty cramps in the water and just float there in pain. Some swimming instructor had to help me out.

I like doing the freestyle. I'm a strong swimmer & have won medals for it.

I can swim but lack of consistency has sapped me of any concept of endurance.

*shrug*

I swim like a frog.

The longest distance I swam was probably a quarter of a mile across a cove.

I am to swimming what a rhino is to flying.

Backstroke is by far the most efficient way for me to swim, and also the way I know the best. Too bad it makes for limited visibility.

The longest distance I ever did in swimming class at school was 500 metres, but I reckon I could swim twice of that if my life was at stake.

I'm not a great swimmer, and since I haven't been to a pool in a while I don't think I could do many lengths before getting tired. My favourite stroke is backstroke, because it's so relaxing.

It has been forever since I have swam with consistency, though every summer I swim in the near by river back home. I really should get a membership at the local YMCA and start swimming. I love to swim and I'd say I am a decent swimmer.

I can swim the breadth of the river back home. I do not know how wide that is though.

Out of the choices there, my favourite would be front crawl, though my favourite in reality is the sidestroke (I think that is what it is called).

Yeah, it doesn't matter if you take a break, because you can usually float anyway :p.
