I like to eat sandwiches or melon after I hike. I hike regularly. I enjoy water and I like to swim. I don't like to swim in pool because of the chlorine. I enjoy swimming in ocean despite the risks. I like to read on the beach and to listen to the waves. I like to take a break from the outside world. I have been swimming in the ocean. I felt pain and tingly when I was stung by a jellyfish. I went to the hospital when I was stung. I love horses. I think horses are strong and graceful. I do not want to ride a horse again.
I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian so I don't eat any meat or fish. I have a pet parrot. My family is redheaded and tends to fight. I once rode a horse while drinking a sprite.

I often buy watermelon. I love to eat watermelon. I do not like fruit on hikes. I like nutri grain and protein bars for energy on hikes. I like swimming and prefer to swim in a pool than swimming in nature. I love ocean waves but the undertoe and some of the fish make me nervous. I love Sprite and Mountain Dew. I love vacations in a room that has ocean facing balcony. I have never been stung by a jellyfish. Thinking about jellyfish makes me nervous. I love to see pictures of jellyfish. I do not want to see a jellyfish in person. I love horses. I think the most beautiful sight is seeing horses run. I have to work on my courage before riding a horse.
I am getting restless because my local beach has been closed all week due to rip currents! I can not wait to get back to my ocean swims!  That's a bummer! What causes rip currents, anyhow? When there are a lot of waves, one right behind the other, a pool of water builds between the waves and the beach.  Obviously, I don't know much about it, but when I was younger, I read a book where a little kid got caught in the rip current and drowned.  I've been terrified of it ever since. Have you ever been caught like that?  No I haven't. I've been very lucky. I always listen to the local forecast to make sure the rip currents aren't bad. I know they can be dangerous, but I still prefer the ocean to a pool.  I applaud your adventerousness!  It may not be as big or dangerous, but what about a salt-water pool?  I just heard about how swimming pools can be converted to salt water, and how it is much better than chlorine.    I've tried a salt water pool. It is much better than the chlorine, but no waves lol. I guess its like you said, I prefer the adventure. I often see fins when I swim.  You are making me want to hide! I was crawling up my chair when you talked about the jellyfish.  How many times have you seen a shark, up close?  I haven't seen the actual fish. I see the fin, tell myself its a dolphin, and swim in the opposite direction! I'm not too eager to find out what's below the fin.  Hopefully you are right! Maybe you could find out from some of the other people who go there, or live nearby.  Aren't dolphins friendly to surfers and swimmers? They are very friendly and will swim with you. I haven't gotten up the courage to try yet. I've got to learn to tell the difference between a shark's fin and a dolphin's fin.   If you live down by the Gulf of Mexico, there are supposed to be more dolphins along that coastal area than any others.  Which beach do you go to for swimming?
