Underwater

Post Reply New Topic

alot of times I don't need goggles under water I am one of those people that can just open my eyes under water without pain and without the burning after from the Clorine.

I love swimming underwater. When I was a kid I found it fascinating. Perhaps because I always wanted to go into space and I know that Astronauts do zero g training underwater. Its as close as you can get (out side of certain aerial maneuvers) to feeling pure weightlessness. Overall I love swimming. Would love to go scuba diving someday

I refuse to swim in the ocean, I will only swim at rec centres.

I like water and being underwater. I don't know what it is about water that I like - maybe how it's more weightless and how it flows.

Oh, why's that? What is different about it, is it the ocean's infinity?

I felt so foolish when I went to Australia and didn't bother going to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef. Its beauty would have been wasted on me just admiring it from shore.

My apartment has a heated outdoor pool year-round. I've never gone in it. But I plan to sometime this summer, probably around 9 pm when everyone else is inside. It's a level 5 feet throughout, I can manage that.

I had a fear of water and thus never learned to swim...I am considering swimming classes when I have the spare cash, I remember as a kid going 'swimming' and loved the feeling of being in the water, as long as it didn't get on my head. Now I'm much more comfortable with water, although the feeling of water on my head still causes problems with my sensory issues I'm sure I'd manage.

hahahaha!! Once I'm in the water, you have to tie a rope to a truck and pull me out in order to get me out If I had the choice to grow gills and live the ocean, I would totally do it

I like floating on my back in the wave pool with my ears under water so I don't have to listen to the country music the place I swim during summer plays over the loudspeakers. I can barely hear it with my ears under and this way my eyes don't get chlorinated.
I try to stay in the deep part of the wave pool as long as I can, swimming and floating. I can stay in through two bouts of waves and the stillness in between...maybe thirty minutes or more, treading water. I think it's great exercise!

I'm a bit surprised that this underwater swimming has connection to AS, though I think swimming in general fits in AS well, considering its repetitive nature and relatively low physical skill requirements.

I loved to play underwater when I was a kid. Face up, back down, seeing the surface of the water, swimming underwater when playing tag, etc.

I was a slow learner at swimming, but after I learned it, I also felt somewhat easier myself in this sport activity. I only had to figure out the movements of breast-stroke style and freestyle once, so it doesn't require constant concentration on movement co-ordination.

Below the surface I swim breast-stroke style (of course ), and every time I swim in the swimming-pool I finish my practice with swimming across the pool completely underwater with one breath. This is 109 feet. I could swim about 130, I guess, so it is not so easy.

To tell the truth, I understand people who fear the water or certain waters, for I also have some phobia of the water. I don't like to swim near the banks of the pool, since I fear some of the machinery with no reason... I almost always swim on the same stripe which is one of the centers.

Damn, I don't blame u. It's such a beautiful place.

I used to fear being underwater because I had tubes put in and they would always hurt whenever water got in them. Then I started to wear ear plugs and I loved swimming and going underwater just as long as I had my ear plug. Then I lost interest.
