I can most certainly swim. Three years swim team, 26 ribbons, two trophies. It was my life back then. I can swim Butterfly, freestyle, backstroke, and my favorite, breaststroke. I practically live at the pool in the summer, and my favorite part is the twelve foot end. Me and the sixteen year old boys who can actually hold their breath that long would swim down, hold hands, and twirl in circles. Good times, good times. I miss those days, the hundred-five degree weather, the park, no school. I want it to be summer already. I don't want to sound braggy, but I'm probably the best swimmer I personally know. Including all my friends and parents. I'm the only one that is experienced enough to dive in the ocean, when we take our yearly trip to the coast. I have to watch out for stingrays, though, I've already been stung twice. Never by a jelly, but I've gotten close. Water is my element, I love it. Now, choir is my thing, but swimming will always hold a special place in my heart. The only place I don't like swimming in is the river we own in Wisconsin. Gawd... I hate Wisconsin with a burning passion. What a waste of river. I'm trying to convince my mom to sell that freezing wasteland and buy another river here in Texas, but she says it hold "sentimental value." I guess I understand. I still refuse to swim in it, though. I like going to Lake Travis near Austin, too, and renting a cocktail boat and inviting people, and having these big party things. So much funnn.
Its because, well, I can't swim. :/ I wish I knew...everyone else does?
