Swimming in the sea....

I like pools because our beaches are disgusting. It must be nice to have clear water at the beach. Ours is murky. Plus I am too paranoid about all the tapeworms and roundworms.

I like them both equally. I just got back from Mexico and I spent time in both the sea and the pool. They both have their pro's and con's , yet I still can't choose which one I like better. The ocean is a beautiful wonderous sight to see and so relaxing though. :)

I have only had the opportunity to swim in the ocean once, when I was about 10 years old. I really enjoyed it! I like going to the local beaches, although I don't go very often. When I was younger I spent a lot of time at the community swimming pool and had an uneasy feeling when I was near a vent or drain also! Glad it's not just me!

You should come to Ireland sometime and see if a dip in the Atlantic would change your mind! I'd Love to swim in warm,clear water sometime!I go bodyboarding (Yes,in the Atlantic,on the Donegal coast!) but mostly I'd Swim in a pool...

If I was in a place where the water in the sea was clear and blue as it is in the Bahamas or a natural spring, then I'm all for it. I don't really like the pool because the bleach messes with my skin and hair. I'm a great swimmer and love the water. Most people say that I must have some mermaid in me because I stay under for so long. Now, don't get me wrong. I love the sun, sand, and sea air but I hate the salt and dirtiness of the sea in America. There hasn't been many places that I've gone to that I really like the sea. My father took me all the time when I was younger, but I loved that because I was with him. On top of all of this, I really want to loose about 20 pounds so that I will look really good in bathing suit. I love my body, and so does my hubby, but it's hard to walk on the beach without comparing. I don't compare myself to those who are skinny or who obviously went to a plastic surgeon. I'm almost thirty and have a nine year old. I look good for my age and love my curves. I just want to be firmer and a size or two smaller. If I can do this without losing my booty, boobs, and thighs then life would be great!
