We had a swimming test for my surfing class (jealous?). We spent like 2 hours in the pool, first a 4 lap swimming test, then an underwater swimming test, then we had to tread water for 5 minutes. My one friend who smokes a lot and doesnt workout, felt like SHIT after we finished. In fact, he puked a little. I, on the other hand, felt awesome and refreshed. After we got through with it all, we got out of the pool and my surfing teacher told me "Your form was terrible but you're strong. you did 4 laps and came out with a dry head lol" (Turns out when you keep your head above water youre just making it harder for yourself)

Also, I'm taking a fucking surfing class, at college. Do you know how awesome this is? HOT CHICKS OMFHASDSD

I dunno I just don't see how 4 laps is hard. I guess that's the effects of being a chain smoker o.o I used to do laps in the pool all the time. Never once made me tired. I didn't do speed laps or anything so maybe that's the difference?

Anyways what you should do is always have your head half in the water just like the rest of your body. Then turn your head to the side and breathe in every other stroke. I'm sure they already told you something similar though

Congratulations I suppose?

God I love swimming. Haven't been close to a pool for a few years now, I'd love to get back into it.

This ^

Well it hasn't been years for me, but it's been a long time. I've always loved swimming, and when I use to take swimming classes once upon a time, they would tell me at every class that I was fast enough to compete on a swim team. I wouldn't mind doing so if only I had the time.

Surfing class sounds like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to learn how to surf.

Psh, surfing is for wimps, try professional speed walking

Screw CC Surfing classes. Let Bryan come out there and show you how to surf

Ya thats how I normally swim. Though I keep my head above water when I'm not swimming alone. Aggresive teenages make me paranoid. Also 4 laps at his pool might be alot longer then 4 laps in the pool you swim in. I dont think there is a standard lap length?

That could be, but the place I swam at had swim meets all the time so I assume it'd be the normal size? o.o Ah who knows. All I know is that swimming for an hour straight never ever made me tired. Can't run for shit xD

mmm, i would do that too, just low self esteem.

I think there's generally 2 sizes of pool, the normal ones (give or take a bit of length) and the olympic size ones which are a fair bit bigger. I miss swimming

yea that's not tiring at all. Maybe just the entire training that wore him out.

I do love swimming though because you generally feel refreshed afterwards rather than exhausted and sweaty.
