Swimming

[Lawr]

Swimming pool games are mad fun especially swim-wrestling. Like I go up on someone's shoulders and someone else does the same on another person then we try to knock each other over however we can. It's good fun.

But I almost drowned a long time ago once when I was a kid. (Not while swim-wrestling!)

Let's see. The last time I've swum was... summer of 06! It's been a while!

Pools are fine. I have no experience with rivers or lakes though, so I can't say what freshwater is like.

I hate the beach, salt water sucks, ew ew ew.

And I wear board shorts.

You mean chicken fights? Those are fun yes! But I'm tall, so I'm always bottom. Boring~~

I looove to swim! I went swimming for the first time in about 3 years the other week, I loved it, to me it just feels so natural. I'm a very confident swimmer, my Dad had me being trained when I was little. I'm a pretty fast forward-stroker-er! Breaststroke is my favourite though. Now that I've finally joined the gym (I work there, I had no excuse not too, I GET IN FOR FREE but I still put it off for months), I'll be swimming alot more!

If you believe in superstition, the fact that I was born in an un-popped water sack made me a "water baby" and I therefore found swimming so so naturally easy, my first breath was underwater afterall!

Uh, well I swim in trunks and I swim in a pool... normally. But swimming is pretty rare in general for me. I guess I actually swim in an ocean or in a lake just as often as I do a pool.

I swim in the nude. It freaks out the neighbors.

[Momiji]

I haven't been swimming for nearly 5 years now.

I'm fine with that, really. I don't like going outside for extended periods of time.

I'm a leisure swimmer and absolutely love it when I'm on a beach or a nice clear fresh water lake to swim in....

But then I somewhat paranoid that something is lurking beneath the waters and then I immediate head closer to shore...

[Goldenboko]

Aha! One of my favorite things! We have a pool in the backyard and I love jumping in, especially after a walk or whatever which has caused me to become overheated and sweaty! I'm also going to try and make a goal to do a certain amount of laps a day because the opportunity will be robbed from me in college :/

I freaking hate that feeling. Last time I went to an ocean, there were crazy amounts of jellyfish washing ashore left and right of where we were. And a dead baby shark. Made me kind of uneasy. :\

I LOVE swimming! I haven't been swimming in years though. I usually wear a one piece, thinking maybe a tankini with a skirt bottom when I have the money.

I usually swim in public pools because the nearest watersource is the Maumee River and iirc it has pollution problems too often for my liking :\ I guess I could go to Lake Erie...

No kidding it would make one feel uneasy...My brother stung by a jellyfish at Daytona beach in 1992..We rushed him to the hospital right away...While he was being treated, we heard on the news that there was massive of people being stung my jellyfish at the very same beach...

My mom was stung by a jellyfish once.

Is it true that simply peeing on the wound heals it, or is that an old wives tale?

[oddler]

I think that's supposed to ease the pain, not cure the hurt.

That would be incredibly amusing, in public no less.

'OH MY GOD I WAS STUNG BY A JELLY FISH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGGHH'

'Quick! Take off your swimsuit and pee on it!'

'....what?'

'Yeah! I heard it works!'

'...I-I don't feel comfortable doing that...'

'Do you want it to feel better or not?!'

'Y-yeah, but...'

'Do it!'

'No! You pee on it!'

'Okay.'

'W-wait! What are you-- god your aim sucks-- IT'S NOT WORKING'


It's all an elaborate scheme to totally make fun of you while you're in pain, I bet.

[~*~Celes~*~]

It wouldn't surprise me xD I can't even remember where I heard that from. Maybe it's on Snopes?
