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'm not tall. I like watching basketball but not playing.
I like to swim. I like to swim for fun not competitively. I am not on a swim team. I am tall. My parents are over 6 feet tall. I only eat fish. I fished with my dad when I was younger. I go fishing every week to destress. I like cooking what I catch.
I just finished watching a basketball game. Who was playing and who won ! I had the choice of basketball and swimming at school I chose swimming. Miami Heat beat the Atlanta Hawks. It was a close one. That's no choice for me. I would never go swimming. I am terrified of drowning. How did you learn to swim?  It still amazes me you don't like swimming! The amount of time you spend down on that beach, does it not entice you to try it? I think it was just a combination of my huge feet and the fact we always used to fish so my dad thought it was super important for me to know. One day I will get you swimming like a dolphin haha. I had a cousin that died in a boating accident and it haunts me to this very day. He fell off the boat and couldn't swim. When I think of how scared he had to feel, and what it must feel like to have lungs full of water, it keeps me on the shore. I do like that your dad made you comfortable in the water. I don't think I'll ever fully swim but I would maybe like to wade in.  See, that is the reason why he felt any one going on a boat should now how to swim! maybe you could start looking at it as learning in his memory and it might make it easier! But hey, with your height and basketball skill, you should get into that as thats where your talent lies. That makes sense. My cousin also refused to wear a life jacket, so he did two dumb things that day. I do want to enjoy the ocean but I am legitimately terrified. I do love basketball but I don't like all that running. I usually prefer the sidelines.  Well as sad as the story is, there is lessons to be learned from it ! Haha, they tried to force me to play when I was younger due to my height but yeah... to much running for me ! I prefer the water all day. Any beach days planned anytime soon? I would love to come. Yes! Do you know where the pier is on George Washington Avenue? Let's meet up there on Saturday if you're free. What time is best for you?  That sounds amazing! I would prefer early morning as I will have a a couple of rods with me to do do some fishing if you fancy trying it out? If we catch something we can eat we can cook it on the beach. YESSSSS fresh fish is amazing. I love a good fish fry. I'll try to build myself up to touch the water. We'll see how it goes.  Well I think if you combine it with fishing you wont even notice as if we get a big bull or something you may have to walk into the water a little, only up to the lower knee though. Adrenaline with having a shark on the end should cancel out the fear haha.
