no snow, how bout swim???

Alright so thats the pic i was talking about earlier with drew brees and his baby after at the end of the game. It just makes me miss football already. :( Anyways so this week i really screwed up my knees because i was being dumb at the gym with some of my friends. Now i cant even run, which is kind of a good because i am starting to swim again. I swam for my highschool and have been swimming competitively since i was 11 so i love this sport. Its also a good way to get some cardio and will be easy on my knees till they get better. Theres soo much i love about swimming i dont even know where to start. I especially love the feeling when you havent swam in months and when you jump in, you kind of panic and forget what its liek but after a few seconds your body and lungs get used to the water. I am so glad my dad got me to swim at an early age, otherwise i have no idea what i would have been doing during my summers. Not only was swimming fun, but it also is very useful. I find it surprising how there are a lot of people who do not know how to swim. Everyone should know how to because its so fun and good exercise. Its always a good feeling when you go to the beach, a friends pool and you know what your doing. Can easily get from one spot to the other by gliding on the bottom or on your back underwater. Me and my friends would purposely sink (let all your air out) and have competitions on who could stay sunk the longest. The best games we played were marco polo and sharks and the meadows. Marco polo on the deep end is so fun, its basically everyone holding their breathes at the bottom of the pool and "marco" has to wait for someone to get off the bottom in order to tag them. It gets intense because youll see people push off the bottom soo fast and quickly get out of the water in seconds. People jumping in and the stand offs when its just one vs one. There are a few rules but i dont feel like going through them haha. Then sharks and meadows is where there is one shark, and everyone has to cross from one side of the pool to the other without getting their head tapped over the water. They way we used to play is anything goes besides ripping off goggles. So people would be wrestling under water for like 45 seconds, no one wanting to go above water. If you get tagged then you become a shark, it would suck to be teh last person because then you would have like 20 kids as sharks and haev to wrestle all of them.....a very hard thing to do. I just cant wait till its summer with all this pool talk hahah. I have had enough of this snow :/
