Can you swim?

How far can you swim? If not far you shouldn't swear. lol

There just isn't enough time anymore, is there?

Not only that,but my options have dwindled, my fav pool closed down, not enough town funds to keep it maintained, and the swimming holes are congested with mosquitoes, thank you global warming,blah.Maybe I should widen the tub,lol.:)

LOL, now you've got the right idea!

i have finished my swimming course just now and now i can enjoy myself in any pool. The most difficult style is back-stroke, i thought. We are familiar with swimming even before birth. Human beings are most likely evoluted from some ancient ocean livings.

Butterfly Why do you say the back stroke is hard to do? Actually I am able to do that just haven't done it in awhile.. I am thinking maybe it's because some people aren't able to keep their bodies above the water in order to do it, at least I know I can't but I can do it..

I think if I had children, I would make sure they learned as well. Parents can't be everywhere.

Hey, are you mocking my dog paddle skills? LOL

That's better than me!: )

I know this is a somber comment, but what prompted me to think about swimming was the bridge collapse in Minnesota. If I had fallen in, I don't think I could have swam out.

I know what you mean, I wouldn't be able to, either. That's an awful tragedy. I was always nervous when crossing those bridges, before. Now it will be worse.

Ambie from my understanding or least what I read the water in Minnesota under that bridge wasn't all that deep you would of been able to get out.. But the problem was with some of the people that couldn't was because they were in seat belts and it was hard for them to get out of it.. That's why they drowned plus I am sure they were badly hurt and weren't able to move..

If it goes over my head, it's too deep, LOL. Yeah, I know some of them were trapped. But some were able to get out of their car and swim. So swimming did save some of them, but I know I wouldn't have been able to swim at all.

ambie always think positive about things.. I can't believe I'm going to say this... But if you had to dog paddle out you would have been ok... Some people panic though instead of thinking that's why most do drown when it comes to swimming...

I totally agree.

That's true. At least you can cross out one way you'll die, LOL.

See everyone tells me floating is easy. Not I can tell them raijin says it's not!: )

If you're under a swimming lesson, intructors apply very strict rules in keeping our body afloat!;)

You should get paid extra for that, LOL.

I tried to tell hubby that, and all he did was laugh his butt off at me as usual. LOL

I'm quite sure that even today you could beat anyone on MyLot, and for that matter, most of America!
