I hate swimming. You get all wet! You only have to dry off afterwards and your hair gets all gross from chlorine so you have to shower which is getting wet again only to dry off again. I'LL JUST STAY DRY, THANK YOU.
 
I love swimming, but I haven't been able to go in years. This summer will be my summer! I'm totally going for a river swim one 90 degree plus day.

*more proof she's a water-bender*

The woos of cosplay. I always tell myself I need to get a bit of definition and avoid sweets 100%. Since half of my current ones have exposed chest areas.

I'm doing Elina from Queens Blade for a friend's group. She doesn't have too much exposed tummy but I worry about it. Honestly my tummy isn't too big but if I'm not mindful of my posture while posing it'll look horrible.

I can't get rid of sweets, though. I just try not to eat too many of them and to counteract it by eating lighter the next day. 'Sall about that moderation.
 
Topic is swimming now?

I was a swimmer in high school, swimming is the best. Actually, all things water related are. Scuba diving, skiing, jet skiis, the beach, fishing... I couldn't live somewhere where a body of water isn't within an hours drive.

The real question is (especially for the ladies): Jammers, or speedo?
 
Swimming?

Beach.

and forgive the shitty quality, i took it with my phone
 
*realizes she has green eyes, loves mountains, and loves Toph and Lin*

I AM AN EARTHBENDER!


EDIT: Beaches are for reading not swimming
 
Beaches are for both reading and swimming! Do it right and bring a sleeping bag to the beach, unravel it fully, and boom! Better than a blanket because the sand flies right off, comfy as hell so the lumpy sand doesn't hurt your head. Crack open a book, bake in the sun, then jump into the ocean to cool off and swim around so you can head back to shore for another 45 minute reading marathon.
 
You guys can come to IRC too, yknow!! PM me if you want the address :)

(edit: because lurkers might invade the IRC chan :P)

My eyes are blue. I love blue. I love water and swimming. I've been told I'm part mermaid. I know what I am. :O

Yeah, trying it out was your first mistake. I've never been myself, but I've heard the stories...

Seriously you guys. If you don't care about having cam and sound particularly, IRC is where it's at.

But I got fat and self conscious :(

I've seen self consciousness get to a lot of would be swimmers out there. Its actually difficult to put on a revealing suit in front of a bunch of people and get out in the water and do your thing.

If it helps at all, I was underweight like mad in high school. Six foot two, 125 pounds. I had terrible body image issues, putting on a jammer and walking out in front of the team like that was humiliating especially when every one is saying "eww, look at his ribs. and his back!"

But honestly, swimming for me is just fun. I learned to ignore the haters, I eat, exercise, can't help the fact that I look the way I do especially when I don't feel like bloating myself at every meal. And I swear to you, if you were to pick up swimming and do about an hour of it three times a week, any weight that you have will fall off. (If you even have any :] you look miles away from fat in your avatar pictures!)

That, and it helps to know that 1) anybody poking fun of you is an asshole you'd rather not hang around anyway and 2) you have more guts than most of the other people around you, putting on a suit and strutting your stuff regardless.

I'm gonna continue to work out and get pretty and then I'll be good. :D
 
Everybody needs to go swimming on Northshore in Oahu, Hawaii some time in their life. Amazing waves. Literally 20 feet tall waves when I was there, incredible.

Actually, I take that back. If you're a good swimmer, you need to go to North shore. If you're not so good at swimming, please don't, the undertow is quite brutal. But still visit Hawaii!
