Diving deep into the ocean!

[Formalhaut]

I'm 19 and I can't swim at all.

I've never had lessons or even stepped into a pool because of body issues mainly. I wouldn't dare strip off in front of people. If I somehow had a private pool, then sure, I'd probably go into the water, but I'm clearly not rich enough to own one!

Not to mention, I imagine I'd probably be a pretty awful swimmer. It's a great shame really, because I think I'd love to be in the water. Maybe not even swim, but just being able to just float in the water, like on the beach.

Nevermind though!

I love to swim! in the ocean, I'm okay as long as I'm with people. on a boat though, I kinda don't like the idea of being so far as to where I can't see any land. being on an airplane so high never bothered me once, but being on boats and not 100% sure of which way to "go back" was a little bit weird.

You and ya otters.

I wanted to try deep sea diving, but then I saw Open Water and I was like "nah I'm okay". I love swimming and first learned in my pool when I saw six years old. I almost drowned just a year prior in my grandmother's pool. Deep water is terrifying to me, but I still some how manage to brave it, but now I'd probably only go under water in pools or lakes. Definitely not the ocean. I get a minor panic attack when I go under water in Skyrim thinking something is going to swim out and get me.

I love swimming. I could spend hours and hours in a swimming pool just chilling out. The sea is a totally different matter though! Even shallow sea freaks me out because you can't see what's hiding! I've been stung by a jelly fish twice in shallow water and my god does it hurt!! Also, no-one will ever convince me that there is no chance a shark will be hovering in shallow water ready to catch me. Several times I've stood on a rock and had a massive freak out thinking I'd stood on a shark or some other killer fish! Noooo thank you! I'll stick to the swimming pool thanks!

No! Swimming is bad! Being wet is bad!

I am not a strong swimmer but there are few things in the world I love more than being in a river and paddling around. I always prefer swimming holes in rivers to most things, but the ocean is a close second. I like swimming pools when I'm alone in them or with people I know, I hate public pools with tons of people.

I can't dive for crap, though, and even though I would love to scuba I don't think I'll ever be a strong enough swimmer for that. Just don't get enough practice. I haven't been swimming at all this summer, which is sad making.

Agree 1000%

You guys can have your stupid ocean, I'm gonna stay here where it's nice and dry!

I loooove swimming and I'm very confident in the water so deep water doesn't bother me. I don't mind snorkeling but I do get a bit freaked out, something about the total silence and knowing that down there you're basically powerless, it's terrifying but exhilarating at the same time. I think at some point Tara and I will try scuba diving, I'd love to go swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo reef.
