this is a fun summer poll

do you like swimming?

where? how?

how much time do you usually spend swimming? how often?

[Sharon007]

I dont know how to swim so unfortunately I dont go swimming. I remember i had a chance to learn when i was in my teens but i was too shy to reveal my swimsuit to the boys in the class. It was a mixed school so i went orienteering instead.

I can't swim, I sink like axe And usually I don't go in water cause it's cold and I hate cold. If it's hot I go to water and I love splashing or whatever it's called. So I don't know what to choose lol

[athinamj]

I hate swimming I can't swim and I'm not interested in it!

[Sharon007]

i remember going splashing in the water on summer holidays our family would go to the nearest beech (40 mins away) we would stay there for a week or 2. Got some pics at home of my family on those holidays. I learned a little bit on how to swim then but I forget. I think I was alot braver then I am now

I'm a water beast

When I was young I loved swimming (still do). My mom has told me that it was hard to get me out of the water after I got there I didn't care if it was little bit cold, I went there anyway. The earliest time I've went to dip myself was in the middle of may (I was 16), partly because I was some sort of a "guard" in children's summer camp.
I voted for anywhere, although I haven't tried to swim in the river... yet.

I voted for the sea all the way

I've tried to swim in a lake, but I didn't like it very much

a pool is ok, but only when there's no sea, or the sea is really bad where I am

I've never tried a river though

it's always been hard to get me out of the water too (it's still hard lol), because I adore the sea

when I'm inside water, I forget all about time, until I start feeling really cold

what's the difference swimming in seas, lake or river? lol

A girl who can't swim is asking

[Phantom]

in lakes there's too much sand, and also it's more difficult to swim, because the water isn't salty

I like salty water best

in rivers swimming must be very dangerous, because the river isn't steady

I think lakes are quite boring

pools are ok, and I think they are the best for someone who wants to practice swimming, before using something more unpredictable

[magic]

I am telling you, I can't learn to swim. I go down like a bag of sand

Ironical but I was going t a swimming poll club and actually swim when I was a child lol

[Phantom]

you can swim you go down because you're afraid

if you could do it as a child, why not now too?

if you want to practice and learn swimming, you won't go in deep and open sea, and you won't go alone

trust the water and trust your body if you do it, you surely can swim

[magic]

I tried several times in sea but I sink all the time lol It's not possible for me to sink. Even in pool, I hold at the handrails but I still sink lol

with a comp?


Fujon, it's so nice to see you here welcome!!!

[FUJON]

nope.. only with a toys

Thank you, magic

[DD85]

Lakes boring? I don't like seas that much just because of the salt they have in them. When you dive (and I love to dive) or swim in general, you get tons of salty water in to your mouth
And because the water in lakes isn't salty your swimming skills become better when you have to try harder not to sink, imo

[Phantom]

I have only tried one lake, so maybe the specific lake wasn't pleasant I don't know

that one had extremely much sand, with a dark colour, that didn't really make me feel like swimming

[DD85]

There has always been sand in every lake I've seen, except the one that had little rocks. Well, the sand is better than mud...
