I Miss The Old Swimming Holes

Used to be a gravel pit where I lived about 15 min from home, it was very secluded and great for swimming (pure spring water) and great for getting a tan.

I miss my swimming days, pool is not as much fun, to many people there

were you ever a swimmer?

Me and my friends in high school went to the beach a lot. We would have a beer or two, share a joint, and go swimming in the ocean for an hour or an hour and a half. I’m not recommending the pot and beer, it was just sheer luck that one of us didn’t drown.

Yes, in my younger days. We used to skateboard to nearby apartments and quite often someone we knew who lived there would vouch for us, so we got to use the pool.

Good memories. :slight_smile:

My family used to like to go to the beach on weekends when we lived in Southern California and in Panama. It was real fun. And then, when we lived in Las Vegas, NV, lots of people had backyard pools and that was fun too. I remember that I learned how to swim at the neighborhood pool in Panama when I was about eleven years old.

I swam across a lake once fully clothed with my phone and wallet while I was psychotic once.

I don’t know why I did that…hmmm :thinking:

I love swimming. I miss going swimming every summer when I was growing up. I don’t do it much anymore, and I’m not sure why.

Last time I did it was probably around middle school. Don’t like the public pool because ppl poo and pee and spit in there and don’t wash themselves. Every mouthful of water is 50+ dirty buttholes in your mouth. I’m very obsessed about contamination.

In middle school I had such low body fat I was not buoyant! I would swim underwater with my goggles and look at the girls in their swimsuits. I thought I was stealthy and got a real kick out of it. Another advantage of being invisible.

There was a spring fed pond where I lived while growing up. Somebody donated a raft for playing king of the raft and there was a tree you could climb on, swing on a rope over the pond and drop into the water. Never had more fun anywhere.

Where I grew up there were two mountains side by side. Driving up them, there was a watering hole my friends and I used to swim in.

My ultimate experience was with an abandoned rock quarry…you could dive off the top ledge and dive into the water…but I never could do that…I did get to scuba dive in this quarry once…beautiful visibility…almost two hundred feet…

Swimming? â– â– â– â–  I was a scuba diver. Ever see a tampon at the bottom of a lake? I wondered why the water levels were low. :slight_smile:
