I Detest Swimming

I know it's good for you, I know it helps keep you fit, I know it's low impact, I know it's an all body encompassing sport.
But god damn it, I detest swimming.
That is all.*

It'd be great if it wasn't for all the water.

I'm ashamed to say that I don't know how to swim. Maybe it's because when I went to take lessons as a kid, some dude threw me in the deep end.

I love swimming and would if I could. Unfortunately living this far north means there is no way you will get me in the sea. And as for public swimming pools, I've never been able to face them since it was pointed out to me that it's not the chlorine that makes your eyes sting, but the chlorine mixed with urine...

Hop on one foot to get the water out of you ear and tilt your head to the side the water is in. Don't know why it works but it does.

Useful thing to know Medbh, just in case.
Gimmie, Kim, it's the gym pool, christ alone knows what's in it, but I'm trying NOT to think about that right now.
Boliath, cheers! Now, where did you hide the camera?

See, gym pools take all the fun out of swimming, because everything has to be done in such an orderly fashion. One should be allowed to bellyflop from time to time, you know.

Sorry FMC, I LOVE swimming.

Only in calm waters though.

Which is difficult to find.

Finding a place to swim where you don't want to kill everybody around you is difficult.

I need to meet somebody rich who can give me a private pool.

That will be my heaven.

You're supposed to swim clockwise at my pool Sweary, naturally that meant I pitched about doing a delightful diagonal anchor stroke.

Eva! When you do find one of those let me know, I've got a cossie and a coctail shaker.

Did you see any sea kittens during your swim?

I didn't learn until I was 30.Loved it though.Then I had to pack it in for the last few years as it would have traumatized other swimmers.

Time to jump in again.

I was in a swimming club when I was younger and managed to grab a few trophies, but haven't been in years, tho I'm staying in a hotel with a pool at the end of the month so I may be tempted to dip my toes again.

Btw, I detest mondays.

Blogger Unknown said...

Pfft. Of course you swim clockwise. Stick to the outside of the lane, and no slowing down. Never put your fingers in your earsies to attempt to get the water out cos that will just push it in further. If it really bothers you get a pair of earplugs. I recommend 1,000m before breakfast to start the day.

I stayed in a hotelin Thurles last year. The pool was colder than the Forty foot

Blogger fatmammycat said...

Morning folks.
'No slowing down' are you barking? I have to slow down, I can't bloody breathe right so I end up gaspping mid stroke, trying to pump stale air out while simultaneously sucking fresh air in. Oh yes, I'm a class act in the pool.
I have decided to add this poxy sport to my routine, I don't know how many lengths makes 1000m but I did 12 lengths yesterday and I plan on 20 lengths next outing( which horribly enough would be tomorrow)

I saw no sea kittens, but I did see a manatee in very tiny speedos.

10:09 a.m.  
Blogger Unknown said...

Now, before the speedos vs shorts aesthetic argument starts... shorts stick to the legs and create 'drag' in the water. Speedos are your only man.

10:56 a.m.  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Round here, men have to wear speedos. No shorts allowed. The reasoning being that shorts could possibly be worn out and about, in the street, and thus would dirty the pool.

I have a pair of speedo type shorts for swimming. Too tight to be acceptable outside, but perfect for the pool.

I'm a terrible swimmer. I only learned how to float about 2 years ago, before that I used to sink like a stone. Heavy legs. Now I can stay up, breath (most of the time), and move very slowly.

I should probably take lessons.

Blogger fatmammycat said...

There are speedos fellows, and then there are 'speedos'. These where the latter. More thong than my eyes were expecting. He was however a cracking swimmer and I envied his glide even as I avoided staring up the crack of his nether regions.

Yeah, a fellow like that breastroking in front of you might cause your goggles to shatter.

Much of the Christmas celebration actually begins in the last week leading up to Christmas and this is the
time that the event s joined by those taken flights to Egypt from UK and other
places. The newspaper printing machines available online these days are superior in performance.
Stars and the loaded are sometimes (however, not always) capable
to go beyond the holding out course of action to obtain immediate gratification.
Assuming there is a God and assuming that the Bible is God's word and an historical record of His activities (and you won't hear anything to the contrary in church and from other formal
Christian religious organisations) then the standard hype you hear, the standard image projected of God (and son) tends to be 'warm and fuzzy'.
Lap books are another tool a teacher can use to help students create booklets that they will want to keep and review.

It is also a good idea to avoid any accidents,
slips or falls. If you make mistakes and you use a simulator, then it will cost
you nothing. You must, however, practice auto-rotations at the flying field with the help of an

This could cause them to grow less, flower less, and maybe

in the garden. When ordering mulch, find out what the delivery cost is and compare

They need to see doctor for some advices on how they can take control
of their blood pressure. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent
further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do.

A lot of people will state that more than 20,000 coffee houses are
found in Cairo. Some of the papers that come out only once a week have managed to gather a large number
of readers. Professional newspaper reporter must be acquainted
with all aspects of human activities. An animal is substituted at the last minute
and so God says "ha-ha, fooled you, I was only playing a little joke".

Studies about Egyptians lend itself to activities such as mummy-making,hieroglyphics tablets or Egyptian jewelry.

It's a result of the passion communicated in the post I looked at. And on this article "I Detest Swimming". I was excited enough to drop a thought ;-) I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be just me or do a few of the comments come across like they are coming from brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Would you list the complete urls of your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
