    At the behest of Towel, I invite you all to discuss this, or tell us where/how/when/why you learned to swimme.


    And this, since no one has alluded to it yet.

    I think Shipstern's would be a good place to start.

    Deep end of a pool, just have somebody toss you in, you'll either sink or swim.

    I have always wondered why other animals can swim instinctively but homo sapiens has to learn or be taught. Geez, we're stupid.

    Come on bro, forced to swim laps on Townsend Ave after hauling buckets of cat litter to the mountain on the edge of the property, and eating mulberries, while cats named after half the grand children while the poor ones went unnamed looked on, picking out my own switch, in the house next to Fast Eddie's house--the dude that took a swing at his wife and missed and fell down the stairs... thats where i learned to swim!


    "no, i don't want to..."

    im so glad they tore that friggin house down.

    (creepy inside joke)

    I remember the first time I tried to swim,i was like 5-6 yrs old and my big brother was like jump in the deep end u pop right up.i jumped in and didn't pop up lol,I didn't know what I was doing wrong.i was near the ladder so I just climbed that shyt.

    we had a pool in my town,and it was literally like 1 minute from my house.i could throw a rock from the porch and land in the pool,it was that close.anyway living near a pool,and not having a membership,used to be free for residents but they changed it after some years....so we'd party all night,then go "pool hopping" at the end of the night.god it was refreshing.i miss my youth lol

    Ha!

    Well... I already mentioned this in the soon to be 100 page other tread, but here's a pic of the pool I was talkin about. You'd be surprised how fast one of these will fold and fill up with water. I can still see that thing fillin up, 50 years later.

    Bon Voyage

    Holy crap! LMFAO!

    I still remember sittin on a river bank fishin with my Dad as a kid. He points up to a small bridge crossin the river and tells me how he learned how to swim... when his Dad tossed him in the river off that bridge. Of course, that was in the 1940s. These days you'd have a felony conviction.

    We really can be too wimpy for our own good some times.

    exquisitely implemented, good sir.

    i learned to swimme the first time i got tossed into the washing machine (both to the de-crust my fibers and in the esoteric surfing definition). at least i think thats where i learned to really swimme.
    surfing has, however, helped me to understand in what little way i can how the water moves and how to move with it. i don't think I'm scared of it any more though, but to respect its power? oh yes.
    im glad to say i've learned everything i know about water and swimming on my own. not that i wouldn't like a head start from childhood, but... i'd be a fool to sulk in the escaping opportunities of the impossible past.
    instead, this towel is looking tranquilly yet excitedly toward the future. a manifest destiny, if you will.
    i pride myself in swimming out past the break in 3-4' swell while dragging my board by the leg rope behind me and then climbing aboard instead of paddling out.
    i also no longer shuffle my feet to find ground underneath me, thats used to be a habit! now i only shuffle them when i dance..
    yeah!...

    when exactly though or where? idk... but I'm glad i can do it.

    Don't forget to bring a towel!

    Where can Frosty learn to surf?

    Given ms mis thing's passive aggressive mood swings, it's an obvious answer: in the gigantic gaping maw of a yapping vag that ms thing continually flares at the gen pop.

    Just found out my uncle has been posting on facebook that he is offering free swim lessons... He's in West Virginia though...

    (and here come the WV jokes)

    Sorry Frost, just found out those posts were from July of last year...

    Hey Towelie... You owe me a bag of cheesy poofs. I know I had some before I left the house.

    Was hoping you'd see this. Early udt missions to pick leaves from the bottom of a murky deep end, meanwhile Mikey getting praised for flailing.

    My mom said the day I turned into an embryo she was water skiing. I honestly don't know when I learned, I just always did.

    Towel, I got you dawg.
