    I think I am opposite of you. My arms are really weak, but my legs are really strong from riding.

    It's funny how different riders turn out in different ways. One of my friends is like you - she's a brilliant runner thanks to her leg strength from riding. Maybe just the different ways people naturally sit on the horse causes them to become strong in certain areas. In dressage I don't use my legs for too much other than squeezing and keeping still, but other riders that jump more than I do I understand use them a lot more. I wouldn't say my strength is in my arms though, it's probably more in my shoulders and back.

    That's awesome! I would love to learn how to scuba dive.

    I love going swimming. The ocean is really cold up here, so I haven't done that very often. But I used to go swimming once a week in the public pool Unfortunately it's now closed for the summer ._.

    OMG yes!! I love swimming. I can't think of anything I'd rather do in the summer. I have an in-ground pool and it's just the best. It's so refreshing. Swimming is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love kayaking, boating, tubing, water slides, etc. Mostly anything to do with water, I'll LOVE it!! (aside from drowning that is)

    I used to go to the public pool every day when I was in middle and high school. It was where everyone hung out and we had a good time. Some were on swim teams, others played tennis. Me, I hung out with friends and played poker and gambled with red hot dollars and swedish fish, lol.

    My parents have a large above ground pool. They got it the year AFTER I moved out. Sigh. I do go in when I go up there, but with gas prices the way they are, that isn't as often as I'd like it to be.

    We have pools here in the city, but it's mostly kids that are there. I could get a gym membership with a pool membership, but again, that's pricey, and I just can't afford it. I miss the pool. The closest I get to swimming and water these days is when I'm watering my flowers and plants with the hose, lol.

    I love swimming. We have a steal sided pool that will be ready tomorrow. And my dad's friend has a big inground pool. <3

    I swim for the heck of it and for fun. I don't like the beach much because the beaches around here are kind of gross but some of them are nice but just too far.
