I like the ocean better because it is sooooo much prettier, getting a mouthful of the saltwater sucks though.

I prefer to swim with my mouth closed.

The ocean up here is GROSS. Rocky and cold and full of seaweed. Yuck. If I lived in Puerto Rico though I wouldn't mind.

i think a fear of being eaten alive is fairly common.
i'll think of you when i am at the beach next week. |

Pool... lake.... ocean.... it's all good. As long as it looks clean and safe, I'll jump in. Oh, and somewhat warm. Or it has to be a really hot day. I
hate being cold when I come out of the water.

I got clipped on the thigh by a small shark off the coast of Sao Paulo. Couldn't have been more than 4 feet long or so. Don't be a bunch of babies.

I won't swim in the ocean, a river or a lake. I love vacationing by the ocean and will get my feet wet.
The only pool i swim in is the one in my backyard, i know it's clean. |

*I* got bit by a shark. Getting bit by a shark is MY thing. Step off ham.

There is something about turtles that is very unsettling. |

I prefer a swimming pool...indoor or outdoor doesn't matter unless its raining out.
I've yet to see a shark at my gym's pool. |

I prefer the ocean. If you suddenly gotta take a crap you can just drop trou, do your business, then move on down the beach 20-30 yards (any further and
you're out of range for good viewing of the reaction of people who spot your work). In the pool, it's a whole other story.

Lake Erie up here is very popular, but on any given day its affected with e coli, which places hazzards on swimming. Most people dont care, they swim in it
anyways.

etc.

1. Ocean swimming - too salty but I love to be on a sandy beach.
2. Lakes - grew up swimming in them, but now UGH. I can't do it unless it's crystal clear. Too oogy otherwise. 3. Pool - have my own in the backyard. Mineral based, not chlorine, but I've heard the salt water ones are the shit, too. |
