Swimming for Life
« on: June 24, 2005, 08:54 PM »

Hi friends,

How well can you swim? If you are not a swimmer, have you considered enrolling at the nearest swimming club to you?

Cultivating a good swimming lifestyle is rewarding. There are no age restrictions- from as little as 3 months old to whenever: 70's, 80's, 90's.

Start swimming today and when you attain your peak in age, you'll be glad you did.

Swim today! Swim for life!

Deblessed, I guess you can swim but not a swimmer. There is a sharp difference between the 2.
I am an offshore worker by His grace and anyone who can not swim and has not passed swimming test will never be allowed to go offshore.
So I can swim very well but I am not a swimmer.
Though swimming is a very good exercise it circulates your blood evenly around your body and induce perfect sleep.
Good to swim. Deblessed you're right.

Great Peter,

Thanks for the correction! But i want to believe members of the forum very well understood what i meant by being a swimmer.  It does not mean swimming is your profession but u enjoy it, make it a part of your lifestyle.

Any one still confused, if at all you were? Please PM Great Peter.

Hello dablessed,

Are you really serious about the fact the after 30 something odds years I can learn how to swim?  I have never entered a larger pool of water than a bath tub.  I think that I am a genetic hollow block there is no river where I come from.

Confirm that I can learn and I shall enrol in a swimmiing club as soon as I get your reply.

Slowpoison,

You can very well learn how to swim even at 100. Make sure you join a good club where the instructors are good ok?

All the best!

It appears there are more people who can't swim.

Shall i organise a swimming tuition for all and sundry? Lessons would range from beginners through intermediate to advanced

The amount of response will determine whether or not its worth the trouble.

Let me know what u think.

Water can drown people. Be careful! Don't do it alone. Do it with an excellent swimmer around.

Swimming, no! Water  drowns but that notwithstanding everybody likes swimming.

Just be careful dear.

Swimming is a very good form of exercise and it comes highly recommended. It's one of the few exercises that tones up every part of your body. The best part of it is that you can actually unwind while you swim, relax and enjoy yourself.

Ah well, to anyone who's interested in learning, the only barrier between you and a very good swimmer is the fear of water, remove that and you'll be inventing your own styles yet.

@mamba..... na wah for you. May you not drown while grabbing more than the floater.

My brother taught me how to swim. Here's the golden nugget... he accomplished it in a day! Huh

How, the tout (he'll beat the rainbow out of me if he hears that Smiley) took me to the Delta Steel Camp (DSC) staff club in Warri and threw me in the deep end. The SHALLOW end was 7foot deep mind you Shocked. I flailed, I drank some water (yuk) but finally swam my way out. I went swimming on Saturday and several people asked if I was floating on something or just sleeping on my back. It's a terribly relaxing pose I invented. Hot-angel, if you're interested, I'll be glad to teach you, well, at least the theory.

What does this 'aqua-aerobics' involve?
dablessed (f)
Re: Swimming for Life
« #29 on: November 03, 2005, 11:15 PM »

Its aerobics in water.

Its really fun and you do not have to be a good swimmer, which makes it really safe as the risk of drowning is ruled out.
