Can You Swim?

[k9krazee]

I like to think I'm a strong swimmer. I had Lifeguard and had PADI rescue diving training when I was 16.

We have a cabin on the lake that we'd visit during the summer and then when I was about 7 we got a pool. I always wished that I would have gotten into competitive swimming in school. Oh, and in high school everybody has to swim once a week.

Everyone in my neighbor had a pool, and we had a YMCA within walking distance. I started taking formal swim classes at 8 and I was already such a strong swimmer they bumped me up a couple ranks! I swam competitively in high school (500m free.) However, I've become sensitized to pool chlorine and can't swim any more...bummer.
