swimming Options

i've been going swimming a lot lately. i'm going this afternoon again actually. let's talk about swimming


do you like it? do you go often? can you open your eyes under water? do you enjoy swim swimming or just floating around? does diving give you a headache? it gave me one yesterday after a while. do you have a pool? do you wish you had a pool? i'm certain that whenever i "grow up" and own a house i want it to have a pool.



tell me about your swimming habits.

LOL, the last swimsuit I bought was about five years ago, and that year was probably the last time I went swimming. Either I haven't had time for it or I lost interest, probably a combination of both. I don't have a pool, but there's a river that people like to "float".. It's called the Caddo River and people think it's a fun weekend activity to go float the Caddo, meaning you just get an inflatable pool tube and ride it down to the outlet. Usually it takes about an hour to get all the way around. I've done it once, kinda just to say I did it. >.<

it's odd, i don't know if there is a reason but i swear like 60% of girls have "lost interest" in swimming even though they used to really like to go. i speculate that it has something to do with buying swimsuits, but i don't really know.


and as far as floating down rivers...when i first came down south and my uncle said we were going to float down a river i was like what the f*ck kind of hillbilly shit is this? i thought it was fun though, and interesting. i didn't know people did this as like a real activity and it was so legit with like set up places to go rent intertubes and junk. even though once when i went floating there seemed to be a lot of people sitting in rafts drinking beer with confederate flag towels...and yeah, it was really the picture of what you think of when you think of hillbilly southerners.

Yeah, there's a canoe and tube rental place right by the river. You drive past it and there's normal civilization right there with it - Taco Bell, Wendy's, McDonald's, some hotels and gas stations, etc. One of the gas stations has an air pump, and on the weekends you see cars lined up at that gas station to fill up their pool toys with air.. It's kinda sad.
