it's like taking a bath with a bunch of people you don't know. Disgusting. If you want to relax in some water why not fill up one of those small tubs in your backyard
not to mention you have to wear a pretty embarassing outfit in front of everyone. Doing the swimming unit in school and both boys and girls are there. Though at least those are your peers
adviceman49 answered Wednesday December 11 2013, 10:36 am: I have never thought of swimming as taking a bath with a lot of other people you don't know. Now that you mention it, it is kind of true. There is a practical side of swimming other than this one fact and bathing suits. Knowing how to swim is important if you ever need to swim to save your own life. As for the swimming outfits you generally have a choice of outfits with the possible exception of school swim classes where everyone wears the same outfit.
Outside of school no one will force you to swim if you do not want to. Knowing how to swim is important. Lets say your on a date and you go for a boat ride. Something happens and you find yourself in the water. There is not lifeguard to save you. Knowing how to swim and tread water is important. in saving yourself. Don't say it can't happen as it does happen.
Please don't say that will never happen to me for it can and might. You never know. Remember to the person you believe is the other person you are the other person to them. So things are just as likely to happen to you.
I'm a good driver, haven driven well over a million miles in my lifetime without an accident. I never thought I would end up disabled because of one. Then one day someone not paying attention ran into me at over 60 MPH and I became disabled because of it.
My advice is to bite the bullet. Learn to swim with your swimming class. Once you know how then you can decide if you ever want to go swimming or not on your own in the future though if you need to you will know how. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Razhie answered Tuesday December 10 2013, 4:05 pm: Yeah, I'm with you. Swimming. Immersing yourself in whoknowswhat, all with the risk of being cut off from oxygen, the single thing we most need to go on living. I've never understood the appeal.
I also don't get skating. The idea of strapping knives to your feet and going as quickly as possible on ice. What suicidal maniac thought that one up?
I also don't get the appeal of the TV show Lost or Doctor Who, or cheap beer, or having cat as house pets. I think all of these things are kind of stupid.
But I don't get my panties in a knot about them, and neither should you.
Don't swim, if you don't want too.
It's an easy solution to your problem.
You may never understand why other people enjoy something else, and you don't need to understand. Just respect it, and don't waste your time slagging it. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
