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?

[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

[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]

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]

[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...

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.
