None swimmers?


Recommended Posts

You bunch of men bonding poofs!  If you couldn't dive off the high board before you hit ten years old in my neck of the woods you were nobody. The baths were my second home. Kids shouting, screaming, doing belly flops, cheeking the lifeguards, pulling and shoving each other into the pool, refusing to get out when your time was up, it was brilliant.

 DISCLAIMER: I am truly sorry if anybody's feelings were hurt during this post, no harm came to the attendants,  the children who were pushed into the pool or Kurt Zoumas cat.  I now realise that being scared of water is deeply traumatic. I will  be attending counselling for my homophobic tendencies,  and realise  the hurt I may have caused, for which I am truly sorry. I will be donating five hundred pounds to the Hurt Lezza Bengal Cat association, which I hope will compensate for my remarks. I beg your forgiveness. ?

My youngest brother was born with one arm...f**k me,even he got his 5 hundred meter badge...my Oldman used to tell folks he only payed half price because he swam in circles ??

Any others who just sink when they hit water? Did my first swimming lesson last Saturday and didn't do too badly. Booked another in for this Saturday .Good little confidence boost. Wish

I had to have my 100m  badge before I was aloud to go fishing on my own, something I'm very grateful for now. Good luck ?

A woofter said to me once that I should try everything before I die, but I will politely decline that sort of experience.  Call me narrow minded but I can't get my head, or my arse around to that sort of activity.

My mate was on r and r in Egypt, went scuba diving , had a coffee on the boat and puked at 20 metres , panicked , said instructor saved his life .... Have of being safe in water is learning to not panic , if the wave takes you then try for the next gap etc, I was in hysterics once watching a girl freaking out because a fish (fry) touched her I honestly thought I was going to drown by laughing ....

The list of stupid stuff I've done in water is long, very long...

Looking back is a little scary, I certainly wouldn't do most of those things now, especially the high stuff ?

But i'm so glad I did, the memories of exilliration are always there.

I thought you meant really stupid , lol. I've had ear probs since a kid else I'd have done some more exhilarating things in life for sure , but whilst on holidays I've done a few inebriated swims across large bays fully clothed etc , reenacted 'the swimmer' across swathes of hotel pools , river swims at night, but yes having the ability gets you out of it , at the same time as getting you in it. The father in law said he'd never drown as he doesn't swim, and wouldn't put himself in that situation, but how much life experience has he missed out on with that mindset....

I remember swimming out to an island when I was on holiday in Greece. The water was like glass when I set off. When I turned back it was not just choppy but violent white horses. I could just make out my Mrs on the shore waving for me to get back quick. I was secretly praying that wouldn't be the last time I saw her.

Anyway got back and the Mrs was giving me big stick for being reckless. I assured her I was not in any danger, so she pulled out a mirror from her bag and said "look at your f****n face!" I was white as a sheet. Once a daft boy always a daft boy.

I once paid for me and missus to have a snorkel session in the black sea, we went off with our instructors, male and female to suit, wearing wetsuits , I looked like only gay in village , anyways getting into it guys showing me urchins and grass fish etc came up for air and spotted missus couldn't sink , the woman was all but drowning her trying to force her under the water , anyway she survived , but was amusing at the time , I was unaware of her fears of water at that time....£20 , tried selling me a DVD of it thought better than to get it , got it on missus' hard drive for life....
