Poll question: When's the last time you swam?
Indoors, outside, wherever.

I'm talking about swimming in water, of course. ;-)

I have swum a few times, the last time being about a year ago.

1. Skinny dipping in the Lake Joanis at the UWSP Nature Reserve...
It's practically a UWSP tradition...

4. Does bobbing in the ocean at Atlantic City count?
And facing the waves with a combination of fear and exhilaration?

6. I try to avoid swimming
because I worry about being harpooned. And if I sit around on the beach for too long, people from Greenpeace try to drag me into the water.

Okay, then, it's been more than a few years.

But I really like swimming!

20. Laps three days a week
It's the only form of exercise not found to
suck rocks through a soda straw.

22. last summer driving across country, we stayed in nc somewhere
it was an older motel, and the pool was AWESOME! it was huge and L shaped. there was nobody else in it but me and my daughter (10 at the time). we had a blast! i have found that the older places are more fun.

24. just a few days ago...
...I was splashing in a pool of a large central strip casino in Vegas.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
