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.

I don't think I've gone swimming (as in actually swim laps) since I was 12. That's 7 years ago, haha. And when I did I didn't really like it because I could never swim in a straight line, so I always end up bumping into the divider thingers. It's so sad.

But the real reason I haven't swam since then is because I have extremely sensitive skin; I can't stay in the water too long or else I'd get itchy.

I'm a terrible swimmer, which is why I don't like to go swimming. I think I'd need some lessons before I tried to do it again, haha. One time when I was little and at a hotel pool my brother pushed me into the deep end and I was so scared, because I didn't know how to swim. When he noticed that I wasn't going anywhere he stopped laughing and came in to get me :(

I get that way if I'm in a pool. I hated swimming in high school because the pool has so much chlorine in it. The hallways near the pool would smell so bad and make your eyes water if stayed too long.
