mrbillz: Swimming in the open sea or river has several challenges and difficulty like tides, visibility, rocks, dangerous sea life and of course if you are stuck its not easy to get back to shore but its easier to float there than pools. |

rabzy:Well said and understood. But you know it takes a good swimmer to handle an open swimming in high ocean waves and sea. Knowing the timing and maximizing the turbulence to suit the control of your ability is a thing to know when swimming at the open sea. I conquered the fear of any water when I started swimming in the open sea! The aforementioned are things to look out for when swimming at the open sea. I'm trying to learn surfing at Takwa bay now. Watching this white folks doing it is quite fascinating |

A little white girl of about 5yrs old came with her Dad to swin the other day , I couldnt believe it when she dived and did her swimming perfectly like a pro! while our nigerian girls were screaming ..Lol , some are only coming to find men at the pool. Omo! come and see sexy tatoos in hidden places, I wonder how the tatoo artist was able to pay attention drawing that on that part of the body! well, I'm very good at freestyle, breast stroke and diving, but my butterfly is not too fine, though invented my own style that ensure i have my head with my neck completely outside the water! I named it dog style! dont mean doggy ooo! tip! when you are diving, keep your head in between your arms and ensure your whole body is straight like a javelin into the water, make it a shallow dive, and still up! i can travel far with breast stoke! i don't get tired, like I'm just relaxing but not as fast as freestyle! 1 Like |

rabzy:Takwa Bay is a place to be when it comes to great water sport. Since the closure of Bar beach due to Eko Atlantic, Takwa Bay has been fun and I think has the best ocean view right now of all the beach on the island. I was at Oniru private Beach last weekend and it seems like a Deserted Lake. Even at Night which records the high waves and awash. The beach was so calm due to the Sand filling and wave controlled done by the Eko Atlantic coast construction. Bar beach is more or less a river now. Just very low wave you can observe. Takwa Bay has taken it now! Gonna be there this weekend again! |

Lol! I once experienced that back in 2010! I was an amateur then. Still I was the expert amidst my friends. It was a dreaded day as I delight them with skills and freestyles. Then I could only go from the deep part to the shallow part. But not from the shallow to the deep part. But I wanted to form boss that day. I went from from the deep part to the shallow part. And they cheered me to go back to the deep part. As I was going. I got to about 9ft and got tired. That was all I could remember. I drowned and was struggling with the water. My friends thought it was all part of swimming and we all smiling while I'm drowning. Not until when the life guard notice me from after and rescued me with long stick which I held and he pulled me out. I don drink about 3 liters of chlorinated water already. Now I can swim in the Pacific Ocean . You should have continued the second day. You will be a pro by now just like me author=cekhoe post=45337999]I get dizzy when I look into water, be it a river or pool,but after all this talk about how swimming is a good exercise I over came my fear and decided to learn how to swim,I got into the 3 ft part of the pool and my supposed instructor wanted to swim before the lessons begin,I was left alone,my people it was my first time ever in a water body o,I just said let me walk inside the pool ,before I could say Jack, I fell on my back,was drinking water,I couldn't get back on my feet,it was hilarious to the people in the pool because to them how can a 5 ft plus drown in a 3 ft pool,before my instructor could swim back,I had drank a lot of water,that was when they knew I wasn't faking it,even after everything, the people kept whispering, so it was,I my first day in the pool,my most dreaded moment, I thought I was gonna die,have not gone since then[/quote] 1 Like |
