Swimming!!
Never thought swimming would be as fun as it was today. Today's experience of swimming was very different.
The day was quite hot. And it was, more or less, a good day to swim in gallons of chlorinated water.
As we entered the pool area, there were people all around, and in between them, lie that cold, blue cavity. i was longing for this for a long time, and it finally arrived.
Diving into the pool, i realised i did not know how to swim!( ya well, i could float and walk around).
My friends helped me out. It was not such a difficult thing, Just a lot of biceps/triceps and strong thigh and calf muscles. alternate breathing sequence and there you are! You can now swim. ( tada dadum!) An underwater swim trial, it was beautiful. It made me wonder how it'd be inside a real sea or ocean and how Pi Patel felt when he saw underwater, the deep abyss of blue, and tiny dots of other colours. The other thing was a pump which continuously pumped water into the pool. Placing a leg on it, umm, it could be the most ticklish feeling you'd ever feel. and then there was the styrofoam board, used to help learners learn. Trying to use it as an underwater surfboard was not a bad idea, except that it overturned easily.
It was a pleasant feeling...
This describes swimming so well.:O I wish I could put it so lucidly,yet vividly!
ReplyDeleteUnderwater is always beautiful,try looking for sunbeams underwater.prettiest.
"Cold,blue cavity" and "abyss of blue with tiny dots" are my fav phrases.:D
I love that ticklish feeling too,those thingies can usually be found in more than one place on the floor of the pool.:)
