We were talking about swimming recently.
A small child - 4 or 5, drowned in a river in Humboldt a week or two ago. And, ddil went to the river - w/out Thyri, for her birthday last week.
For some reason, for all of his other talents, Ds isn't a good swimmer, and never has been. Dh and I were good swimmers, but he's just not. That makes him a little wary about having Thyri at the water. Ddil is a strong swimmer I understand, though it's been a while. She swam in a pool a couple of summers ago, but that's all, I think.
Dh once swam across a large river in Oregon, and in the ocean from one place to another.
I was in one pool or another a lot. I have photos and old movie footage of neighbors' pools, hotel pools, and a pool at a vacation place. Also, us at rivers, lakes, and in the ocean.
However, could we do it now? With our heart problems, my joints, and ages? I'd bet not, but really don't know.
Did you used to spend time in the water, such as swimming pools, or....?
And, if so, do you think that you are up to doing that nowdays?
Did you have a favorite body of water to go into at one time?
Or, did you just like being near water of some type?
