Nope....I'm not a swimmer at all, don't really like it. I prefer to be above the water and I'll beat you in a race on my FJ

haha <3

my coach is dragging me to a meet after my second practice tomorrow

what makes me mad though, is I'm missing the first varsity playoff game.

Well imo and i know many other peoples' swimming is the hardest sport out there.

Xyzzzy · Post by **Xyzzzy** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 12:28 am

Xyzzzy · Post by **Xyzzzy** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 12:49 am

I play both sports >_>

redneck · Post by **redneck** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 12:50 am

well if u swam 6.am-7.30 am then school 8.00 to 2.36 and then have practice agen from 5.30 to 8.00 you would see how hard it is to play both i dont even have time to do homework or study, let alone sro...

Xyzzzy · Post by **Xyzzzy** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 12:55 am

I don't play sro, I just chill in the off topic lounge so it's not that big of a deal

my practices are from 2:45 to 4:30 for football

I go home eat do homework than go back up to the school to practice with the community swim team from 6-8

football ended today, and swimming starts the 14th
so they don't run over each other

um swimming is nice when u are at the pool which some friends girls ect..but other than that no thanks...i like more ( NOT TRYING TO OFFEND YOU) manly sport...football wrestling ect... once again not trying to offend

Hell yeah! Swimming is for babies.

Nah, just kidding. I respect swimmers quite a bit, having to wake up so early in the morning to get their practice in. My friend, who swims for Plano East Varsity tells me that he wakes up every morning at 5:00 to get ready for practice at 5:30, all the way until 8:00 every morning. Then he rides the bus back to my high school. That takes discipline.

But like ghostkilla said, I actually prefer a more physical sport. There's just this thrill of throwing a guy to the ground.
As far as it being the hardest sport... well, that's opinion-based, is it not?

Love swimming! Although I the whole competition thing isn't my cup of tea.

There's a lake nearby where I go swim alot.
Other than that I love sailing aswell.

And when it comes to that, I do like the competition!
