Does anyone at GTPlanet Swim?

[Super-Supra]

I'm a frequent swimmer.

 

[Tercel_driver]

I took swim class, 4 years ago. I had 5 classed per week. Learn four styles, got into competitions, but the best I could get was 4th place.

 

[Timmotheus]

I have a pool. So, yeah. I swim.

 

[vat_man]

With my focus on running, I haven't hit the beach in a while. It's very hard to fit the pool into my routine at the moment as well. I've never swum competitively - much too slow.

At one point we lived 100 yards from the beach, and at another point we lived right on the beach for about 2 years. Back then I used to go swimming almost everyday, but now that we live like... a whole 4 miles from the beach I haven't swum in a month or two. Well, I did fall in a pool 2 days ago, but I don't think that counts.

 

[Super-Supra]

I'm going swimming in less than 2 hours. So Hah!

 

[Thio]

I swim. I'm still short though. Isn't swimming supposed to make you taller?

I think so, I'm at a growing age, So my mom makes me do as many sports as I can.

 

[Pako]

I grew up on an island in the south pacific, so yeah, I can swim.

You should just do the ones you like to play in. You don't have to play all of the sports. That's nuts IMO.

In my opinion, playing any sports is nuts. But I'm weird.

 

[milefile]

I have a (god damn, p.o.s., old-ass, falling apart, ruin my weekend with work ) pool. So yeah. I swim.

 

[MistaY]

I haven't swum since I was like 14, but I was pretty good. I won a few competitions and plenty of stupid swimming badges.

 

[boombexus]

I used to swim competitively since I was 7 all the way through high school.
Went to the Colorado State championships where I got my ass handed to me in the 100m Butterfly.

My events were the 100m butterfly and the 200 individual medly. That's where you do 50m of each stroke. Butterfly, backstroke, breast storke and freestyle.

I don't swim anymore. Guess I'm a bit burned out on it.

 

[Thio]

MistaY, would you like to give me some?

Haha, if I could find them. There probably all in the attic, or i've thrown them out with some old clothes or something.

 

[quicksilver1122]

I can swim.

Would I swim for excercise? No.

Would I swim for fun? No.

I don't really like getting wet unless I have to. I know how to swim just because I know it could save my life one day.

 

[Jpec07]

My dad used to be a lifeguard, there's a lake across the street from my house, I can swim very well, and I do so often...

 

[Raptor65]

I love to swim but I only get to do it once a year for about 4-5 days (hint-vacation).

I had lessons for 3-4 yrs. when I was a kid but that was like 6 yrs. ago.

 

[oosacker]

I used to be competitive swimmer.

 

[Acidman]

I just swim to have some fun, never swam to compete.

 

[1X83Z]

Nope - I just sink to the bottom.

Who in 2003 doesn't know how to swim?

 

[Cobraboy]

I swim, only when I'm up at our holiday house, near the beach.

Probably someone that was born in 2003?

Quite possibly the people of Iraq don't know how to swim either since there country is a arid wasteland.

Anyone skinny dip?

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I can swim, and I like to when on holiday. I'll never be one of these people who swims for exercise, just sloshing up and down the pool (always over-chlorinated) for length after length. Dull in the extreme if you ask me.

Water is a play thing.

 

[Talentless]

i can drown

Me, I almost drowned when I was 7 and I haven't been able to swim since. I can doggy paddle for a while if I have to with like my life on the line but aside from that, I can't swim.

 

[Vasco]

Well duh, I mean, you have to know the basics...I love hitting Cronulla Beach, and when we go to Queensland, down to the Mooloolabah surf.

 

[Solid Lifters]

I went to the beach a lot to body surf and bodyboard up until a few years ago when I had a little skin cancer scare. My favorite spot was this place called "The Wedge" in Newport Beach. When the surf was up, a wall of water with about a 40 foot face, 25 foot high wave, would crash in about 3 to 2 feet of water. Some of the world's best body surfers and bodyboarders would come here when the surf was up here in Southern California. The rip current is very powerful here, so yea, I can swim alright. Several people have drowned just standing in a few inches of water when they were foolish enough to stand in it when the surf was up. It would suck them out to where the wave crashes and if you tried swim back to shore, you would be dead in minutes. I have come to the rescue of dozens of people, and actually have had to slap a few people to calm them down. The trick is to swim out to sea, then swim parallel with the beach to a location where the rip current isn't as strong, then swim to shore.

Today I rarely go to the beach and have moved more "Inland" but I still swim about three times a week. I do it right after lifting wieghts to restreach my muscles to reduce them from getting to bulky. Swimming makes your muscles longer and sleeker.
