I failed all of my swimming classes as a kid. I would stubbornly refuse to dive. Just flat out refused... I'm sometimes surprised I made it through my childhood... I was just a brat to deal with... still am in many ways :P As for water though, I have to plug my nose. Just think of the consistent threads of my stories - I have problems staying focused or I get too focused and forget everything else. I always, like always, forget to breathe out of my nose. I end up sputtering out of the water. I wear snorkeling goggles... like for seriously... in combo with flippers (I never use the actual snorkel... I'm weird okay...) - to swim for fun. That's the great thing about lake swimming - you can't clearly see how completely weird I swim... most of it is safely under the surface. Anyways... Mr. Si had me sputtering a few days ago. We jumped in Ninja flipper fighting with our feet, but holding hands to not actually hit each other - distance is a key factor - the problem: right before we leaped in he handed me a noodle... I had no free hand! I hate that. Ah well, this is what I always look like in water... so here's me as a little kid... making the expression I still struggle against...
... I would say 'How could someone have stopped to take a picture when I'm obviously almost drowning?', but, sadly, that would be a lie. I look('ed'... I wish I could add the 'ed') like this after every jump. Worse still, I looked like that after being baptized... and there was a camera with that one... yuck. See, people, I share my embarrassing things too ;D
