I was a certified lifeguard a few years back. Part of the reason I got the certification was because I loved swimming so much. I suck at team sports and shit but am a pretty good swimmer, at least I was. I haven't been the pool in a loooong time.

I am a total water baby. Try keep me out the water.

I cannot believe how cheap pool membership is
All our pools are city run snd an annual pass for unlimited swims is only $280

Swimming is great for fun and for exercise and physical therapy.

Is one of the few forms of exercise i can do whilst i wait for an MRI to see how much damage i have done to my knee

After 25 years of running, one operation put an end of running for myself.

I love swimming Porter, especially backfloating. My stepson is a lifeguard so you know he is good. Joe, on the other hand really is not a very good swimmer. I guess he didn't swim much in Ireland. Having seen the River Liffey, I don't blame him http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

I'm a swimmer I would stay in the water if I could
I got to the pool 3 times a week if not the river or beach

I feel at home in water
There is something soothing snd comforting, i have no memory of ever feeling nervous or scared in water
It seems a natural environment to be in

I love backstroking. You should not definitely do breast stroke for it is very bad for your knees!

By the way, I am almost 27 and I cannot jog/run anymore myself as I do have some knee issues... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif

Yea stroking backs and breasts is fun but often causes me problems
