Well that same way they tried to learn me swim in a freaking swimming pool in luxembourg. And those were "professional" teachers.
After all that I've become scared of water >< I hardly swim anymore XD

Jack MacGaven 08-15-2009 05:07 PM

I could, but I didn't.
And I think it's the best way to be taught how to swim.
I was four back then and I was used to floaties, so I kind of knew the basics. I was eight when I got my diploma though.

It also was a game for me in the end. I always tried to get my dad on the edge, so he'd throw me back in. It was fun ;)

I remember when I was little there was a water park we went to all the time and we floated in that ride called 'the Endless River' ...and if you've ever been to a water park you know what that is. That river-y type thing that flowed really slow in a big loop around the park.
Anyway, that was when I was 2 or so. So I've been in the water since forever.

It would never occur to me to be scared of the water - except maybe if I were in the middle of the ocean.

Oh dear, Jack. I think I would have had a heart attack if my parents had done that. D= I'm glad you had fun with it, though.

I don't even remember learning to swim. I was very young as my parents LOVED swimming, but I didn't take to it as much. I like it well enough, but it's not my thing.

I took lessons every summer as a kid, but had always been near water. My daughter loved playing in shallow pools and was looking forward to lessons a few years ago. Unfortunately, we were in a friend's pool that didn't mark where the deep end dropped off. I think it was something like 4' at the shallow end and then it dropped abruptly to 6'. She would have drowned if there wasn't an adult in the pool at the time. Haven't been able to convince her to go near water since.

NatalChan 08-15-2009 05:13 PM

Ahh yeah then it's kinda ok xD Nya I didn't know so good how to swim and we weren't allowed to use swim floaties so it was very scary ><

The Wandering Poet 08-15-2009 05:15 PM

@ Natal - Aww hope you get over your fear =)

@ Jack - Dimploma for what? o.o

@ Neku - That sounds fun =D

@ Guivre - :drool: I love swimming... if it were food I'd actually eat every day...

NatalChan 08-15-2009 05:15 PM

@Kaze : I hope that too but highly doubt it xD

Nekuyo 08-15-2009 05:15 PM

I've never been to a pool where the drop off was so sudden. It's always been a gradual thing. I remember slipping down the slope and nearly drowning at least twice though. I just laughed it off, my mom was terrified.

@ Kaze - it was. Mom said I looked half dead though, since when I was little I'd just lay there like I was scared. But I remember enjoying it.

night night guys

The Wandering Poet 08-15-2009 05:18 PM

@ V I X E N - Sweet dreams =3

@ Nekuyo - Just enjoying the ride? ^_^

@ NatalChan - Well I think personally, you need a really good thing to happen because of swimming, which might make you like water a bit more =D

Elmira Swift 08-15-2009 05:19 PM

Bye Vixen! It was nice seeing you again even though we didn't get to chat. See you later!

Nesseh 08-15-2009 05:20 PM

sorry for disappearing.. i was just art shopping. chibis are my weakness... :XD

and my reason to go bankrupt. >.>;

Nekuyo 08-15-2009 05:20 PM

Yeah, she said that I was lying very still face up in my life jacket/floaty thing (cuz I was only little). And she thought maybe I was scared but I never cried or made any noise so she didn't think to take me out of the water.

The Wandering Poet 08-15-2009 05:22 PM

@ Nesseh - ooh... I tried drawing chibis... >.<" They were horrible... *can't draw*

@ Nekuyo - That's a good thing though I suppose if you were enjoying it ^_^

I'm good, you? Just stumbling... >.> I blade mene for having a button easily accessible on this site...

Jeannesha 08-15-2009 05:27 PM

Hi guys! I poofed for awhile.
Our RV was making some really weird noises where we were driving, so we had to stop and check it out.

Guess it's going to have to keep making those noises, because we couldn't find what was wrong.

Elmira Swift 08-15-2009 05:28 PM

Jeannesha, are you and your family on the road?

Vicktoria Valentine 08-15-2009 05:28 PM

OOH, I spy a cupcake! :3

Nekuyo 08-15-2009 05:29 PM

A Cupcake??

The Wandering Poet 08-15-2009 05:29 PM

@ Jean - Hmm... possibly the muffler?

@ Vicky - :drool: Thinking of cupcakes makes me wanna look at jellysundae's siggy...

Le Miilky 08-15-2009 05:30 PM
