are you kidding me? i love swimming! I love the anti-gravity feeling in the water, it's like being on the moon(since underwater training is one of the ways astronauts prepare for space). It's too bad about the whole "we don't have gills" thing. I would love to be able to breath freely underwater. I'm not going to the pool in scuba gear...

I used to love it. High school varsity swim team. These days I have problems with my shoulders. I don't know if I'm still able to swim.

I cannot get enough of the water, I would happily live on the beach, though, I am not a strong swimmer.

Hey, we in New Zealand HAVE to know how to swim, as we have a particularly large moat we call The Pacific Ocean. Swimming's awesome, mainly due to the floaty feeling it has.

I like fresh water swimming and swimming in the ocean, because I don't have to deal with the allergic reaction in my eyes, from the chlorine. I used to be able to swim indoors, but it seems that as soon as I've started wearing Glasses, the chlorine started to cause me eye irritations. Somebody told me that I cold get special drops for that from my Family Doctor. I'll be looking into that, when I go in for my Annual Check-up. Than I'll be able to enjoy all types of swimming, like I used to.

Ten metre?! You mean 3 metre, ten feet. Right? I know, it looked like ten metres.

That's okay, I back down from the 3 metre the first time I got up there too.

I love the water, I always really enjoy swimming. The only time I didn't was when it was in class and you get told what to do.

Love swimming. Always have, except for the whole competition thing and having to spend nearly every waking hour (that I wasn't doing schoolwork) in the chlorinated pool... Other than that, it's awesome.
