Swimming Thread

BTW I learned to swim when I was 29 (oh gosh I'm old!)

I don't think you're old at all. You're young. :)

I can swim, but I freak out a bit about swimming with my face in the water. It makes me nervous!? I never went in the swimming carnivals at school because of this! I feel as though I'll get puffed out, start to breathe in water and, and and and.......argh LOL

I'm very good at backstroke and head-out-of-water breaststroke :D

What if that goes in our nose and we stop breathing. I had this fear. Yes, floating on water is real hard. It's a skill. I would see some other man doing see, but would never do. What if I get drowned?

Whoaa Bilby, that is a skill you have. Backstroke and head out of water breaststroke, it would tire me out quickly. LOL :D

Yes - that's what worries me - that I'll start to get puffed out, breathe the water in and then I'll drown. I don't really know where the fear comes from either. Anyway, when I used to swim, which I did daily for quite a long time as it was great exercise, was to do the backstroke or my special version of breaststroke ;)

I haven't been swimming for quite some time now actually!

I hope this thread helps people to get back at swimming. Those who loved swimming.

Swimming is such good sport. Is it considered as sport or is under exercise category? Someone can help me to decide this. LOL I am just confused :wacky:

I don't really know where the fear comes from either.

Yes, me neither. Something to do with water?

I guess it is a sport if you do it competitively. For me it is for fun, exercise and relaxation.

I love to swim too. I stopped 2 months ago when my back started getting bad. I should start again. Maybe I will go tomorrow. I do love it and even if I only can do a little bit, its a start!

Every little bit counts!!!!

I love the water, it soothes me. I do not swim very well, but I can get from here to there in small distances, swim underwater, and float. If I could just sit in the water, or stand there feeling the water move around me, I would. Unfortunately, I worry too much about what other people would think. Wanted to get a pool here, but husband thinks we don't have too many hot days and that the pool would be cold. :( Not suppose to go in a Jacuzzi due to my heart issues among other reasons, but I still do from time to time. Just not alone, or I just put my feet in.

Maybe that's why I don't like fish, I'm jealous of them! ;)

 

[Sailorgal]

Can always do the heated pool. ;)

That's what I said, but he just says, blah blah blah...or something to that effect, since I stop listening. :hilarious:

Do you love swimming?

I love swimming so much! I haven't had the opportunity to do it in several years and I truly, truly miss it! For me, it's one of God's greatest gifts! It's such a beautiful, amazing experience that I can't explain how much I love it! :inlove:

Awesome thread dear Jaret! :)
