do you like swimming?

Once when i was swimming in one of my favorite secret places to swim...in Kona i dropped my snorkal mask far down in the dive hole...a place to do medium and high diving...well there i stood looking at it slowly drift on the sand across the bottom of the waves...so far down...it struck me how beautiful that the water was that clear...and knew i was going to have trouble getting my mask back...down about fourteen feet in the water, I had not tried to go there before, but i dove as strait as i could toward the bottom and it hurt my ears but I got it back!

Are you born in Georgia...Golfygirl?
I sure do miss the south sometimes. I have only been home to visit Tennessee a couple of times since I left there at seventeen. I miss the mountains of the Smokies I think mostly, swimming in those ice cold waters was crazy, and so much fun!
glad you are here.

Australia sounds like hawaii...the water is as clear as a mountain stream...beautiful! Is it clean & clear there too Shazzam?

I was born in South Georgia. I am a Geeeoorrrggiaaa giiirrl . I talk that way too. My sister lives in Seymour,TN. I flew up to see her last October. That was the first time I have ever been to Tennessee. I enjoyed my visit. We went to Dolly Wood. We traveled around the mountains and saw a couple of other shows. Tennessee is a beautiful mountain state. Lots of winding roads.
Thanks for the welcome

If you live in my country and don't swim you are in big trouble! It is the only way to cool down in the summer, plus we are an island continent so we are surrounded by it.

Most children in my country (I would like to say all) learn to swim before they can walk. It is a skill for life.

I personally love to swim, especially in the ocean, there is something about the salt water that makes you feel alive.

We are blessed because the waterways in Australia are very beautiful and the water temperature is always moderate.

I would love to visit Austrailia. I might even like to live there. There is just something about Austrailia that I've alway wanted to go there. Maybe I will get to come to Austrailia one day. I live in a Travel Park and the managers of this park are from New Zeeland. They sound like their from Austrailia. I love the way they talk. They are very good people to work for. I also work here in the park. They have been living in the USA for the last 14 years. They grew up in New Zeeland so they know New Zeeland ways. I find that very interesting.
Good Day Mate! I would love to hear anything you have to say about Austrailia

My grandmas name was georgia. Of course being from Tennessee we all called her mamaw...sounds like a sheep bahhing...so it was appropriate...( PLEASE don't get me wrong! because I love my home and it's people!)
we have a good sense of humor in the south (U.S.) but it can be very "dry" so I know that ewe (you) understand me Golfygirl...this is for the rest...just in case.
Anyhow...my mamaw...when she was going to like first grade her teacher asked her for her name. She said Georgia Alexander, mam. The teaher looks at her frowning, and says that is not a name that is a state, your name is Georgie.
True story.

On Australia : When I was in a dating site I used the handle Love your accent! because I do i just love every single one! Aussie style is particularly nice isn't it!

For that in the last twoo weeks all the instructors are aplying hard trainnings. I swimm three styles: Crawl, backstroke, breastrock, and only 25 metters of Butterfly. It is hard. and I began to practice jumps. I love jumps.

Oh, that is just amazing Elba. A one hour work out in the pool. What a great idea. We have a pool here in the park. There is a man that lives here and I think he is in his late 70's early 80's. He goes swiming often when the wheather warms up. He does it for exercise. I would love to go swimming in the pool for exercise. I admire him for being so healthy. His name is Mr. Felix. Mr Felix lost his wife to alziemers 6 months ago

My husband never wanted me to swim cause he is the kind of man that thinks women should not be out there in bathing suits. I used to go swimming when I was younger. I miss swimming. Since I married my husband(4 years ago) we went swimming at the beach together one time and he accused me of posing for 2 guys behind us and we have never been back swimming.

Although, since my husband and I are separated, and there seems to be no hope in us getting back together, I may just add swimming exercise back into my life.

Hi Elba!
Wow I wish I could get into the pool every morning. One day I tried our pool in December...because I thought what the heck I grew up in the cold rivers of the Smokey Mountains...(before Dollywood) but it was like jumping into ice cubes water and I only did a few dives, swimming across the pool the kids in my building were there with me and I want to inspire so I pretend it is not that terrible...(it wasn't I guess) and I was officially out in about six minutes. Freezing! But I like to try new things and I was inspired by those folks that swim even when it is deep of winter cold...they are really something! Polar ice cold.

Hi Tikay,
I would have caught the flu or something. I hate to be cold. Being cold is pet pea of mine. I like toasty warm. I always wait til June to swim. Good Lord, I use to go swimming before June, but I remember, I would have to keep moving and my teeth would be chattering. LOL. Cold, cold, cold, but I sure wanted to swim. My Grandmother used to take us kids to my Aunt's house and let us swim in her pear shaped pool. My Grandmother would let us swim for a whole hour. Needless to say, she had to beg us to get out of that pool everytime. Of course, the water in Tennessee I'm sure was much, much colder. Like you say "polar ice cold".

Well, Tikay, I guess you were just born to be an example. Do yourself justice

[tikay]

Thanks!
I was kinda wondering what I was born for!
