Swimming For Gym Options

[*Kathleen*]

So who does it? I'm taking the Lifeguarding course so I don't have to go to the regular gym...most of the guys take those. But yeah...our pool wasn't filled up until the third week of school. Can you believe that? THEY HAD THE WHOLE FREAKING SUMMER TO DO SO! But yeah...we were only in the pool for about ten-fifteen minutes. We got so much time to get ready...they should allow us to have a double period or something. Do you guys have swimming courses? What are they like?

[tsohg]

I think swimming rocks .. Its a fun way to cool of during the day and i <3 water.. It rocks =]

[LatinaLady]

i do and i havent taken it yet. i will this year but the water is always there. its smells like chlorine though. eww.

[xsilent_kidx]

whos joking swimming....im on the swim team

[silver-rain]

yeah, we have swimming classes. we have swim gym for those who don't know how to swim. and this year, i'm taking lifeguarding too. there's also another regular swimming class.
off topic: arg, yesterday, michael phelps, ian crocker, and lenny krazelburg were at my school and they swam in the pool.

[inthemudhole]

We don't have swimming for gym.. yet.. we might have to once we get into high school, but I'm not entirely sure.

[racegirl24A]

you guys have swimming pools at your school?! holy crap..we're lucky to have a weight room..

[Spirited Away]

<< That's supposed to be jealous face.

I'm not gifted with the ability to swim. I did take a few classes offered at work, but it's not working out so well (mainly because I do not have time to practice).

As for lifeguarding, I hope your school will certify you for CPR and First Aid because it could get expensive if you have to get certification outside of school.

[aznriceboi]

im 15 and i don't know how to swim, hahah great...
yea there swim team at my school. being the fact that i can't swim i not going to join

[Luster Soldier]

Swimming section in gym class sucked. We have to change next to the toilet bowl, it was inconvenient. It was tiring also, no strength left for the rest of the day.

[*corizzle20*]

my school doenst offer that program (high school)

[Flaunted]

we don't have lifgurading but our school's pool is disgusting! the swimsuits ther not the swim suit materials and the pool is dirty. and its disgusting. ew.

[Saeglopur]

i do and i havent taken it yet. i will this year but the water is always there. its smells like chlorine though. eww.

Maybe... it's because.. it's a pool.

[Doctor Soul]

I think swimming rocks

I wish I could swim. I remember when I took swimming lessons back in Junior High. I almost died everytime I stepped foot on the water.

[Falon]

I want a pool at school! Fsk, I'd take the LG class... Though I dun think it'd be fair, since I've been an LG for 3 years... Maybe if they had an open water class...?

Of course, if we had a pool at school, I bet a candy bar would be floating in the water at least once a week...

Oh my gosh! Whoa. Where do you live?!

Aww! You'll learn eventually, don't worry.

Heh we still have to pay eighty dollars. Anywhere else, it'd be twice that!

[*stephinika*]

yeah my school is tiny and has no pool...thus no swimming. i'd take it maybe if we had it though.

[faithin_felix]

nope, i wish i had a pool at my school ><"

[slurp]

nope, i still have to learn how to swim and the showering time my school gives isnt really enough and i wouldnt want to rush my shower

[01-supergirl]

Swimmings alright, I just don't like swimming constantly. Esp those damn laps!

[Mr. Psychotic]

Yeah we have just a swimming part in PE as freshman but i don't have to take PE because im in JROTC

MATADOR BATTALION most feared in So Cal.

[dani41790]

no cuz theres no pool at our school. it would be so cool if there was swimming courses since its so hot here in hawaii

[silver-rain]

Oh my gosh! Whoa. Where do you live?!

Aww! You'll learn eventually, don't worry.

Heh we still have to pay eighty dollars. Anywhere else, it'd be twice that!

eh, i go to school in new york. bleh, only the swim teams got to meet them and swim a relay with them.

As for lifeguarding, I hope your school will certify you for CPR and First Aid because it could get expensive if you have to get certification outside of school.

yeah, for lifeguarding, you get certified. but, for my school, i think it's free.

[elmogurly]

i heard we have to swim. i hope not. i don't like swimming. hehe. i won't drown..hopefully..

[IIO__oII]

wow. swimming pools at your school? psh. muy school SUCKS )#(R&*)_#. it has all this acre of lands and they dont put in swimming pools OR tennis courts. they spend it all on stupid football and cheerleading....

[tofumonzter]

yah. we all have to swim in pe here, cupertion or around. our hsdistrict swim. yah. i'm tan. and i want to get tanner.

[ikayto]

its meh; kind of a hassle to get dry and chlorine in urr eyes/hair and skin dries fast with chlorine on ur skin...not very fun afterwards.

for the peeps who dont know how to swim; the teacher couldn't care less and get dropped off in the small pool. But for people who know how to swim; he cracks the whip and makes them do laps back and forth.

I always fake not knowing so i can just relax in the small pool. ^__^

[conster]

wow.. lol interesting pool stories

i have swimming as a gym, we have 10minutes to change and 10minutes to shower and go to ur next class.. so we have about 25mins in the pool.. haha i dunno if kathleen will read this.. but since ur going for lifeguard... isnt there a swimming team in ur school u can join? in my school if ur on the team, u swim every single day after school

[sushiluva]

swimming is fun, but swimming at school is a whole different story. the waters, dirty.. people spit, piss, chuck stuff in there.. it's gross. and the changing part sucks mad crazy.. and i had pe first period so it wasn't too good all chlorine-ish the rest of the day.

[lcsblogfool]

I think that swimming can be fun, and I know how to swim too
but I don't like swimming
morevoer, I live in Hong Kong
and recenly the hottest topic in Hong Kong is that
There are a lot of red worms found in many swimming pools
so I am afraid of swimming in public pools...

[topsyturvy]

hey lcsblogfool i live in hk too ^^ and yeh i've heard of the red worms.. it's gross >< but i usually go swimming in AMC so i guess that's not affected.. =P

ok our school has a swimming pool and my friends and i feel it's a complete mistake.. the swim classes are complete torture and the "coaches" are complete @$$holes [sry bout swearing]!! the [female] changing room becomes crowded if more than 15 ppl get in there. also, the floors are all wet and mucky bcuz of the water mixed with huge amounts of dust.. it's rly rly disgusting to walk barefoot in there. we also hav PE in the morning so we have to smell like chlorine for the rest of the day.

oh yeah, and we have to wear school swimcaps. colour? white! we all look like boiled egg heads!!!

[lcsblogfool]

Hi K!$$, nice to meet you.
I used to have swimming lessons when having PE
But swimming is only for secondary 1 to 3 students in my school
I'm secondary 5 this year and have to prepare for the public exam >.<

P.S Do you have ICQ or MSN?
We can chat there...

[angel-roh]

i had them when i was in elementary school it was scary cause the teachers were so mean and rude there...makes u go to deep when u cannot swim...they're more likely a stricted teacher heeeh.... scary-_-;; i dont like swimming and scared of water that time and she give me this board to practice on the DEEPEST WATER...and guess wat happened? i could've been dead by now.... i was drowning... she didnt help me...she was just watching me to do it myself... augh i drank a lot of chlorine water-_-;; i was just choking...and i fainted in the water for like 2minutes i think but it was kinda like more than 2 minutes... i was just keep going down and down...and i can feel my brain squishing each other which gived me a headache...& i felt weird...someone grab me and got me out of the water...and i was sitting in the bench and i still see my swimming teacher teaching those beginners...there was no one in the pool except me.. and i was like 2nd grade that time... i guess the swimming water is alive...it saved me lol
.

<-- or maybe an angel saved me hehe...

[aznbabiicutie]

yeah, we have swimming classes. we have swim gym for those who don't know how to swim. and this year, i'm taking lifeguarding too. there's also another regular swimming class.

[someflipguy]

[*tweeak*]

[AznKutie]

Well...I heard there used to be swimming for our P.E. period but they cancelled it. I REALLY want them to have swimming as a p.e. choice. That'd be cool...

[sweetdreamsx3]

I don't know how to swim, so lol.
Our swimming pool is filled though. People who come out of it smell like chlorine. :P

[pbear]

Nah, we don't, because we don't have a pool at the school.

[highly_evolved]

[*FreeStickers*]

I swim for the school swim team, but we dont have a pool...haha We have to go all the way to the YMCA.

[s0pnayish]

We have swim pe at my school, but i don't really know what they do. I guess just swim all period? And we also have surf pe.

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

[XaZnX07]

blah blah blah blah!!!!


.:tony:.

[captured_serenit...]

swimming is cool. in high school the course it like 55 mins long. and they just swim and stuff..they have to get to class early to dress out, some of the girls just wear their bathing suit under clothes and then when it's time to dress out they jump back into normal clothes. it's crazy...but the swimming time is perfect...

[*Kathleen*]

i have swimming as a gym, we have 10minutes to change and 10minutes to shower and go to ur next class.. so we have about 25mins in the pool.. haha i dunno if kathleen will read this.. but since ur going for lifeguard... isnt there a swimming team in ur school u can join? in my school if ur on the team, u swim every single day after school

Yeah, but I'm scared because I don't think I'd be that good. Um...wow...interesting pool stories. Red worms? Eep. Well...today...I came in later because I was helping out with the Activities Fair (has to do with forensics) and so I was the last person to get out since we had to do fifteen laps back and forth. I thought I was going to pass out.

[dfly112]

i did some lifeguarding... its not that hard but not all that easy...

[XoXXo_Meg_oXXoX]

There's no pool in my school. I don't even think we have a swim team.

[acidbreeze]

At..school?
There's no pools nearby.

[weirdness]

I think swimming rocks .. Its a fun way to cool of during the day and i <3 water.. It rocks =]

same here

[sugarcultluver]

we dont have a pool at my school. i dont like to swim, but do like to watch it.

[silver-rain]

i'm also in a lifeguarding swim class- and it's really tough. we have to be able to swim about 20 yards, carrying a brick. i went swimming yesterday for practice, and i was so out of shape. bleh, i don't think i can get certified for lifeguarding.

[shawty_redd]

i have the option of taking 3 credit for half the semester gym or 5 credit for full year gym which includes swimming but i only took 3 credit cause i don't really like swimming =/

[gelionie]

We have swimming at the start of the school term (cuz it's almost the end of summer), last year we learnt breaststroke (though most of us know it already), and this year we're learning backstroke (though I know it but I suck in it).


//edit: oh and we have double periods for swimming classes, though one period our class clashes with another class... so we actually get one period only

[Veloso]

Do you guy know if high school has any swimming pool.

[xx angelbabu xx]

my school is too poor to have a swimming pool....
no let me rephrase that.. my school wastes money on things that we dont even need..

anyways, i wouldnt want a pool anyway.. cuz that would mean we'd have swimming for gym.. and i dont know how to swim!

[nyctophiliac]

nope i don't have swimming for gym but i will next year and it'll be the same as you lol!! *if you don't get it...we're sisters lol*

[miszkristinexox]

we dont have that i think.

we have swimteam, and i heard they ordered everybodys suits 2 sizes smaller. so they are making them lose weight. wouldnt that be so bad for a guy to have a speedo two sizes smaller! haha.

[NatoBoy]

damn i hate swimming for PE!!!! the water is always cold and out pool is outdoors

[Dark Saga]

I swim about a mile a day.. I love it.. I don't swim for gym though..

[shortee_]

[jaeman]
