(I have written this in writing interest accidentally. Oh what does swimming have anything to do with writing? Gush! I never anticipated my cursor was on writing when I hit the start discussion. So I have to transfer it here.) I always love swimming. In fact,when I was younger I loved to go swimming in the river together with my friends. When I was in college we always go to the beach together with my new set of friends. Now that I have my kids, they always want us to go to swimming to pools near our place. How about you? Where do you fulfill your desire to go swimming(lol) in a river, at the beach, swimming pools or any other?

for me, i would like to enjoy my summer swimming in a pool or a river, but i like the most is in the pool, i don't the taste of the ocean, it makes my eye cry and itchy and the sands makes my hair dry and heavy. in the pool, you don't have to worry the taste of the water and it is not itchy. and in the pool their is a slide to enjoy swimming. hehehhe :) i'm so excited for summer to arrives, because it is the time where my family and friends plan for an outing to go swimming.

Oh yes you made me think of Summer with this post. I love to go to the beach and enjoy the clear salty water. I love the beach because I think it has healing effect. I mean the morning breeze at the beach could soothe cough and colds and the view of the wide and mysterious sea relaxes a tired and weary soul. I love the beach better but I also love swimming in the river but the river should be clear and flowing freely like the river at Liliw, Laguna where we went swimming some 4 years ago. That was long time but I can still remember the clear and cool water that really drove us all like crazy. We enjoyed bathing and playing in the cold water. It was a new experience because we all have been used to going to the beach but that time we tried going to the river. It's a very nice place and the environment was so enchanting. It was so peaceful, you can only hear the birds and the bees and the moving of the leaves. It was a heavenly experience.
I don't like swimming pools because I hate the clorine. The cholorine can burn my skin so I dread swimming in the pools. Whenever someone would invite me to go swimming. I ask first, "Where?" If they say swimming pool. My reply, "No.. I'm not going!"

I have been in the ocean. Also done the river thing. Meremac river in Missouri. Also done the pool thing. My preference is the pool. No jellyfish, sharks, river creatures etc. Plus if I have a problem better chance of help at a pool.

I used to participated in Swimming club during my high school time. Well, the main motive is to have free swimming lesson. However, so far, my swimming is still not up to the standard yet. I can swim awhile but I get tired easily. I think this is something to do with my muscles which are very weak. Normally, I will swim in swimming pool, the public one. Since there is a small fee for using it, I seldom swim there. Also the pool is always crowded with people which make the swimming not enjoyable.

I love swimming in the river because it's free. I mean no entrance fee or cottage rent. I also love swimming in the swimming pools but they are far from our place. We seldom go to the beach it is also far from our place.

I used to go to beach and this is my favorite place when i go swimming. Of course together with my family. But sometimes with my friends from our community. The other one is swimming pool. But it is too crowded especially if summer time or peak time. There are lots of people using the same pool. And that was the thing that I hate. So, if we go swimming at the pool we see to it that we are using private pool to avoid the crowd. :)

I really don't know how to swim but I love to go and visit the beach. Although I don't swim, I still enjoy the water and looking at it makes me cool and relaxed. I really appreciate nature and I am very happy to experience a lot of beautiful beaches in my country.

i love to go swimming, to me it doesn't really matter where it is. i love to go to the beach all year around. i also go to my uncles house all the time because he has a lake in his back yard and we always go swimming when we go over there. sometimes i just want to swim in the pool though, i use to have a pool at my old house and i usually went swimming everyday. i just love swimming in general.
