Calling all waterbugs (a.k.a. swimmers)!!!

[Andromeda Zreng]

I couldn't find a single swimming thread in here, so I decided to start one.

Questions:
What's your favorite stroke?
What's your best stroke?
Competitive, recreative, or aerobic?
Would you want the ability to breathe underwater?

For competitive swimmers:
What's your (least) favorite training drill?
What's your (least) favorite thing about competitive swimming?
What's the worst thing to happen to you in the water?

I did swim team for about 5 years. I had to take the year off last year because of an arm injury, though.

answers:
-Breast stroke
-Freestyle
-Competitive
-Yeahh!

-200 backstroke. ick
-Waiting around for twenty minutes before getting in.
-This past summer, I pulled a muscle in my left arm. My coach still wanted me to swim for awhile to regain the strength in that arm even though I had a pulled muscle. I had to do 100 backstroke and by the time I had finished my event, I had three pulled muscles and one ripped tendant.

i love butterfly but unfortunately(at least to some) i've become less of a swimmer and more of a water polo player which is way more fun then just plain swimming

The High blocks (I don't like hieghts).
Worst thing to happen...if you count goggles coming off in the middle of a 400 Free Relay.

Questions:
What's your favorite stroke? Freestyle. I love making up my own strokes.
What's your best stroke? Again, Freestyle
Competitive, recreative, or aerobic? Recreative, I think.
Would you want the ability to breathe underwater? Of course...

And I don't compete, but I want to say the worst thing that happened to me anyway. razz Slamming into some girl underwater looking for your goggles that fell off in the pool.

Not that that's really happened to me. I like making up stuff.
