Today was kinda eventful I went to the pool for the first time in a LONG time. My new friend , which I'll call Swimboy, is teaching me how to swim. It felt pretty good to get in the water. I've forgotten how much fun it could be. I never used to swim that much because I used to be a chubby kid and really didn't like being seen half naked. It felt like everyone was looking at my fat so I would wear a shirt sometimes but that wasn't helpful because it would cling to my body and still show all my fatty fatty fat fat :/. Well this time was a pretty good experience even though I had to swallow a few cups of water. I'm not so self conscious now because I've lost a quite a bit of weight thanks to Ultimate Frisbee which I'm pretty proud of, but not satisfied with.
He tried to teach me to do the front crawl. I went in with an open mind and a winners attitude. Needless to say I sank almost all the time and received many joyful nose fulls of water. I'm way too tense in the water; I fight the water. Why wouldn't I? It's trying to drown me! Well that's not it's fault, but it does kill thousands of people a year? It's something to think about.
Towards the end I did loosen up and was more leisurely about my strokes. It felt really good. I think I just can't remember all the things I need to do. You have to remember to keep good form and to keep kicking, to breath, to turn over, and to move your arms. I think I might need to learn each part separately and to make them automatic so that I don't have to think about it.
And like any good gay blog you need some T&A to appease the eyes. So here we have a nice swimmer boy minding his own business.
I'm practically getting an eating disorder looking at him. It wouldn't be so shabby if I started to look like him after a few lessons : ) Well a guy can dream.
