We learn to swim in elementary school

that's good, knowing how to swim is an important life skill

technically that's not true

nah

well for one thing I know the basics of boat safety unlike you

Guess what a boat can't keep you company when you get dragged down to the depths of the sea where your survival depends on your will to live and your love for the ocean

The ocean is no joke

but what if you find yourself in a situation where you have to swim or die?

Flag and yes I go swim at least once se week at my local pool

Can you forget how to swim? I haven't been to a swimming pool in 15 years.

I have been in a situation like that

No it stays with you until the day you die life is just like a good swim, sink or swim

Nope
Shame on my parents

you know what can? a life jacket

It's never too late to learn
until the day you drown of course

I'm sick and tired of your attitude the sea is not a place where you bring toys like life jackets and boats the sea is a place where you prove your worth as a swimmer and as a man

Attached: 10.jpg (800x450, 36K)

i hear you and deeply respect your opinion but safety always comes first. that's what my father always says. one day you'll cramp up and drown and I'll live to tell the tale to a group of kids that I instruct to always use a life jacket.

I will never drown because I have become one with the sea and I am like a fish in the water

Northwest
yes, I go swimming at the lake every weekend during the summer

fish aren't exactly known for their long lifespans or common sense though

It's just a figure of speech I am a man who knows how to swim and nobody can take that from me not even you

2. Of course, I'm not a cripple
I hate frogposters

Everyone should know how to swim, there are publicly available pools at any YMCA, and loads more public places.

You think you're a hotshot, a big stunner? Huh? But do you know what it means to be alone at sea with nothing but the voices of the past in your head? Think about that for a second Mr Hotshot

Nah , swimming is nothing more than unneeded recreation here

What about the Ganges river

literally how to fuck do you actually drown
you'd have to be trying really hard to get yourself below the water

user you are kind of scary

If you're alone at sea you will drown or get eaten eventually, swimming is exhausting.

You haven't known true fear unless you have been out at sea

Attached: ccb402a4.jpg (225x225, 7K)

Yep, i learned it through school and still have the diploma's i got when i graduated each level of swimming abillities.

The fun part was the test to dive to the bottom of the pool and swim all the way to the other side hugging the floor, touch the wall and swim back again and surface.

no I'm just laying out a hypothetical situation where the ability to swim could be taken from you. it's a method called proof by counterexample

That sounds like something a poor swimmer would say

Yes. My parents even put me in swim classes over the summer as a kid.

You're not nordic if you can't swim

good parents

What the hell man? Shame on your parents indeed, but it's never too late.

Live hundreds of kilometres away from it. Besides most people just take a dip in it, very few actually swim in it

Yeah not bad not bad

This is true, my single most terrifying experience was out at sea. When i was 12, i was swimming towards a reef that lay relatively close to shore and came face to face with a 6 foot/1.8 meter Barracuda and that beast started to swim towards me slowly. I never swam as fast in my whole life as in that moment.

If you can't swim you should literally remove yourself from the genepool

If someone like Beowulf can swim in icy seawater for FIVE days then a nobody like you should be able to swim for five minutes within the safe confines of an indoor swimming pool

Same here. This is very common in the US, for anyone who's wondering.

Have you ever gone swimming in the ocean around Iceland?

Yeah lots of middle/upper middle class parents have their kids do stuff over summers. (And that's a good thing!)

how is it an important life skill

over here we have swimming classes in school. i like them

Of course, i learned how to swim when i was like 4 years old.

I will outswim you any day of the week

it's common everywhere in fist word countries tyrone

well if you find yourself in a situation where your life depends on it.. i bet many of the people from m/s estonia would have survived if they were better swimmers, sort of like me or . i am slightly more proficient than he is but on a large scale it's negligible

Many times, though never for more than 5-15 minutes at a time

Been contemplating swimming over Leirvogur (the arrow in pic related) aka all the way from the Icelandic WH over to the most popular beach for a long time but I've yet to muster up the courage

You also never know when an undercurrent might pull you into a watery grave

good night have a nice dinner

Yeah almost all the Ashkenazis here know how to swim, orthodoxes don't and Mizrahis don't sometimes too.
I can't swim well but I can swim well enough to swim for 20-30min and keep myself from drowning.

Do you think more Jews would have survived the holocaust if you knew how to swim

>Used to do swimming 4 days a week when I was a kid from 7yrs til 13 and then dropped it. Still like it and like to dive too.

Lol

i know how to, but i don't like to

ps: didn't we have this same thread yesterday?

No because they died due to being greedy and too different from the locals and Hitler prioritizing the camps instead of the war itself.
Wouldn't help most of them even though some did you escape because they jumped into lakes and lost who was chasing them on land.
Mizrahis are absolutely subhuman so it's not a surprise they don't swim.

I don't know any Mizrahim. Who are they and why do they suck?

Yemenites, Moroccans and Arabic Jews.

Here have this documentary where they talk with people about yemenites and it has most of the discussions translated.
The interviews themselves are pretty poorly done because he isn't asking them and just states(no question words it's more of using "what" at most and sometimes not even that) , basically street language and it's not very clear.. And the translation isn't good because one person said "it isn't practical nowadays" and they translated "it isn't allowed".

how can you not swim? physically impossible desu

So anyone who dies by drowning is just memeing?

has to be quite the sea to justify drowning desu
people float and even more so if they move right while in the water

Not everyone floats, skinny people don't.

that's simply not true
some people suck at it because they get tired and breathe quickly, making them have less air in their lungs

Depends.
A lot of people can swim in a pool, but it's the same as the sea.
I can swim in both.

Attached: 1532994142651.jpg (800x533, 51K)

*It's not the same

In seawater everyone floats because it's denser.
In poolwater/non salty water it's harder to float.

Of course, you mean there are people who don't even know how to move their arms and legs to stay float ?

it's "harder", but you're still less dense
or
you're dense
but everyone else is less dense than water still

My grandfather dosen't tho, he even has a funny story, when he was young he used to be in the boy scouts and he had to pass tests to get the next title. When they called him for the swimming test, he just told them that he can do anything but swimming.

You should try it (swimming in the ocean, that is) if you happen to come to Iceland sometime

There's nothing quite like swimming to the point where your entire body is numb only to swim to shore and allow your body to warm itself up for you (or at least give you the illusion of it doing so)

Similar effects can be felt via taking cold showers

I'm too embarrassed to go to a pool...

its in our genes

I'm honestly a little baffled at people who can't swim.

you just.. do it. it came so naturally to me. just jumped in a lake and bada bing
