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.

I LOVE swimming. It's the only sport I've ever loved to actually participate in. I swam competitively when I was a kid for 5+ years. My glowing achievement: second place at a Provincial swim meet for 100m backstroke!

Yeah that sounds like nothing, but you should understand something about me when it comes to sports...I suck. I couldn't even beat the white kids at table tennis. THE WHITE KIDS!

I do not go often anymore cus swimming is sort of a pain to do now that I'm way more busy than I used to be. Plus, I outgrew my old (proper) bathing suit. I haven't really swam laps in many, many years.

Yes, I can open my eyes under water, but would prefer goggles.

I like swim swimming WAY more than floating around/treading water.

In competitions you always have to dive to start a race (except backstroke), so no, diving doesn't give me a headache...maybe from the platforms though

YES I wish I had a pool!

Also, the last time I went swimming I thought I couldn't do a flip turn anymore, but turns out I CAN! I was pretty pleased with myself. And my best stroked was Freestyle. We all pretty much hated Butterfly but I didn't suck at it.

The kind of flip that people do when they reach the wall and have to go in the opposite direction? Flora and I were just talking about that yesterday because she recently began taking advantage of the free swimming at SFU and was frustrated that she didn't know how to do that (thus having to stop every time she reached the wall). You should teach her one day.
