I am shorter than 6 feet. I sing barbershop rap. I can't swim and don't like going swimming. I like sun bathing on the beach. I am afraid of drowning. I'm not tall. I like watching basketball but not playing. I do not like running. I like staying on the sidelines. My cousin died in a boating accident because he couldn't swim and fell off a boat. I am haunted by the accident. I am too afraid to swim because of it. I don't think I will ever fully swim but am open to wade in. My cousin didn't want to wear a life jacket. I enjoy the ocean but am also afraid of it. I am going to the pier on George Washington Avenue this Saturday. I love fresh fish, especially fish fry. I will try to touch the water on Saturday.
I like to swim for fun not competitively. I am not on a swim team. I am tall. I  have huge feet. My parents are over 6 feet tall. I only eat fish. I fished with my dad when I was younger a lot. I go fishing every week to destress. I like cooking what I catch. I did not play basketball at school. I did swimming at school. My dad thinks anyone going on a boat should know how to swim. I do not like running which is why I chose swimming over basketball. I would like to meet up for a beach day in the early morning. I will bring fishing rods to fish together. I will eat what we catch.
What was the most interesting thing you've caught while fishing with your dad? I have never caught anything that interesting, mostly just common fish like trout and sunfish.  I do like looking at tidal pools at the beach.  You can see a lot of cool creatures. I would guess that's true. I do like spending time on the beach and seeing if anything interesting pops up. What is your favorite fish to cook? Any fish like bluefish or trout.  You stuff it with lots of lemons and herbs and salt.  It tastes so good on the grill! Do you have have fish you love to eat at a fish fry? I like most fish as well. I do like fried cat fish but also love trout. Cooking it with lemons and herbs sounds delicious. I'll have to try that. If we catch any when we go fishing we can definitely try!  Have you ever gone crabbing?  Then you don't have to go that deep into the water so it won't matter if you can't swim. I've never tried it. I might be open to though if I don't have to get into the water too deep. After my cousin's accident I just have a real fear of drowning. I get that, it can be hard to get over a fear like that.  Have you ever tried taking lessons at an indoor pool?  Then you might feel safer because they would be teaching you and making sure you are safe. I've never thought of that but it might be something to think about. Honestly I don't miss swimming in the ocean as long as I can be near it and still enjoy the beach and the pier and the atmosphere. I'm glad you can still enjoy the ocean.  I like swimming, but also like walking around on the pier and beach.  We can walk around for a while and explore if you want when we meet up.  Also, it might be a good idea if you wear a life vest just in case? Good idea. Sounds fun. I'm looking forward to getting outside this weekend.  Me too, have you heard anything about the weather?  I hope it's nice out.
