Cold water swims are my favorite. I just feel so free when I swim during the fall and winter. Of course, I don’t do it for long!

My husband and I are both jumper inners…both in the pool and in life. This can be very bood sometimes, but most times it is more stressing. We tend to not think through things through and just go for them, it tends to back fire on us. We keep telling ourselves we will learn, but I really don’t think so. It is just not in our nature, take us to an amusement park though and we are a ton of fun:)

Heee! What a fun question.

I’m completely a “wade in slow” kind of girl. In life and the pool, I want to be able to evaluate the situation as I go.

I can function if I’m thrown in, but it really stresses me out.

Well the last three or so years havent given me much of an option; it’s been pretty much in for a penny, in for a pound, full force, non-stop. Hyperbole much? Me, nevah!

Seriously though prior to the last few years I was probably more hesitant, at least by a little, but now I do just like with swimming: get in, get it over with and think about it later. Muuuuch later, heh.

Like with the pool I ease my way in…but very soon I’m gonna start diving right in and shock the hell out of everyone. I can’t wait!

I was a life guard and swam competitively when I was a teenager. Then I jumped in. Now, without a purpose, I gradually get in the water. But in real life, I jump right into pretty much everything!

Well, I don’t swim. I know some people say that but I really mean it. Last time I put my head underwater and tried to see if I could swim I was ten (I’m 25 now). I’ve got ear issues and well I could swim and be in pain or I could stay out of the pool and preserve my hearing, a.k.a. not be deaf by the time I turn 30.

That being said in life I tend to hesitate for a moment and then jump in. I’d rather get things done or I know it will get better so I get started so I can get to that “better”.

I’ve just found your blog this week and I love it. this really made me think. I’ve been pushed in the water alot the last 2 years or so but I have to say that when given the chance I’m a toe dipper. I wish I was more of a person that jumped right in for most things. Every once in a while I do jump right in and find that the water is fine and that all that touch and test just makes for more stress. Great post, very thought provoking.

What a great “thought starter”…. I am a …..put my toe in—if it’s cold I don’t get in……unless of course my grandchildren are in and want me to join them…….God Bless, Pam. South Bend

I have always viewed life just like the swimming pool. I’ve asked people to take my hand and step into it, and not jump into the deep end.

Some get it. Most don’t.

Either, I’d rather walk in..
