I hate swimming. I like jumping in the water and messing around, but that's about it. I'm not a great swimmer either so that doesn't help.

Every time I go in the sea or ocean when on holiday, I'm always worried that some exotic animal or shark is going to bite my legs off. Silly really, but I can't help it!

Played darts for the first time tonight. Wish I didn't wait until the end of the semester! Fun game.

I hate swimming aswell. And living in a cold climate where the pool is useful for only a handful of days a year, it is nothing more than an expensive, high maintenance pain in the ass money drowning "asset".

Snow is coming. Snow is coming. WOOP WOOP.

Although we seen some yesterday there was even lying snow this morning on the hills above 200m.

However, this will be colder with almost freezing temps and snow falling right out at sea.

I love swimming, here we have numerous lakes which really heat up in the summer.

I don't like swimming at all. I know how to do it, but (barely) could manage the special requirements in the army.

It's fun to jump into warm water, but the Baltic Sea is too cold for that most time of the summer. At our summer cottage's lake where the water is 25C, there it's fun.

I love swimming. The Adriatic sea here gets very warm in summer, occasionally getting even warmer than 30c/86F in some shallow bays, so it's very comfortable.

Ah, if only it were summer, I'd gladly endure the heat in Zagreb (which I hate) to go the Adriatic coast for just a week or two.

I once did swimming in April at Lake Powell AZ. It was quite cold actually, in spite of being located in a hot state. I was not able to stay in the water for more than 35 minutes, because my hands, body, and feet felt numbing cold. If managing in AZ during April under 80 F sun is a problem, there is no way I will be able to swim in cape cod any time of the year.

I hate swimming, but like relaxing in a warm pool under the sun.

Down for heavy snow all day tomorrow surprised no warnings. Think above 200m might get loads of snow.
