Hell NO. I've tried swimming but I can't do it. I can swim from one end to to the other but I gotta stay on the shallow side (that way if I stop...I can still stand up)!!!
I fell into the deep end of the pool (12ft) once when I used to live with my ex..I was sooo scared..I tried to get back up but couldn't so I stop trying...instead I started to WALK -holding my breath- walked til I got to the shallow end!
I was mad when I got back out. So my ex. His roomate was the one who pushed me in...but he didn't know I couldn't swim. Stupid assumption that could of drowned me. My ex did jump in after me to help me but I was already halfway thur the pool by then.
I'm a pretty bad swimmer too. I don't float at all due to an extremely low body fat %(12 years of running and a hyper metabolism).
I remember back as a kid, I went to swimming lessons for about 2 weeks at the YMCA. We used to have this fat guy who was the swimming instructor, and he got fired and the course got cancelled after parents found out that he was holding kids under the water......forcing them to hold their breath under water for like 15 seconds by holding them down for the alotted time. That was the end of my learning experiences with swimming.
If you want to float take a deep breath and hold it. If you want to sink push all of the air out of you lungs and you will go straight to the bottom. We got bored as kids.
If your bored, then learn how to swim. What would you do if you were in a plane wreck in the middle of the ocean? I hope your response is to try and swim or stay afloat.
how about collecting a bunch of those seat cussions they say can float ... i can't swim so i'll be making a raft out of seat cussions and dead bodies if need be
Damn you Jay...why you gotta bring that scenerio up...that shit scares me like hell. I was terrified of flying to Hawaii... I always look for a floating device on planes when I fly over the ocean. Don't talk like that...it scares me.
I feel ya Partymann...I wish I knew how to swim...I tried but I always panick when I try to hold my breath underwater. I'm small so I can only hold my breath for so long and I'll need some air!
When I was bored as a kid I playe with mud! and made mud cakes Jay... I wasn't allowed to play in water for fear of drowning. I'm first generation so my parents didn't know anything about putting me in swim class.
