[...] me, it was testing boundaries and pushing myself. I met more bloggers in person. At the age of 33, I took swimming lessons. I joined a softball team, a sport I considered having contributed to my social phobia as a youth. [...]

That is hilarious! I love it. I have always been scared of sports, because I am so, so, so bad at them all. My firm is thinking of starting up a kick-ball team this summer, for fun, and I am quaking at the thought of it, swimming in horrid memories of poor eye-foot coordination in p.e. in middle school, everyone screaming at me “how could you miss the ball with your FOOT???” I also remember the ONE time when I did hit the ball, hit it well, and everyone ran the bases, a home run in kick-ball, yay me!, and then a cute boy who I had a crush on gave me a high-five when I crossed home plate, and I MISSED HIS HAND!!! Yes, poor eye-hand coordination as well.

I have no idea how I got here, but I’m so glad I did! And now is where I say the lame “Great blog” – but seriously – Great blog! I love it and I’ll be back for more.

I LOVE the smell of chlorine. It’s the best. In high school, around lunch (we always had morning swim practice), someone once told us to lick our arm, and then you could still smell the chlorine. I know. Try it. So odd. Chlorine is the best. I’m proud of you for taking swimming lessons too! Swimming is the best, and lessons are so important!

As a kid I use to swim in Lake Huron. But I hated pools because of the chlorine and thought of people peeing. (Yes, I know, the Great Lakes are sewage magnets but at least they didn't smell like that when I was a kid.)

And in high school gym we use to have to climb these idiotic ropes to the ceiling of the gym. I use to stand around until the instructor was looking away. When I saw he was turning back around, I would jump up and cling to the rope, then jump to the floor, going "Whew! Glad that's over."

I don't think I ever fooled him. He just assumed I was too pathetic to waste his time on.

I’ve GOTTA see the lip/nostril thing!

Um….don’t expect me to kiss you afterwards though.

How do the punkass secret shopper spammers get in here?

The smell of chlorine is kind of a lovely thing. Kudos to you for trying something outside the comfort zone.

Um…I’m jealous. Because I can’t seem to do the nostril seal, and I’m sitting at work trying (and being stared at oddly by the guy next to me). You’re so talented!

I’m glad there are others out there who feel this way! I thought I was the only one! Company picnic volleyball games where I have to serve underhand because I never learned the overhand way, frisbee in the street or hitting someone int he head, and – worst of all – coming up for air after swimming with my bangs over my face and snot coming out of my nose. You’ve made my day!

I thought my sister was the only genetic freak who could do that with her lip! I used to be jealous that while I had to sport those god-awful and entirely unattractive nose plugs, she could simply use her upper lip. To this day she swims much better than I. Like you, I never really got the breathing thing down.

Maybe I drowned in a former life.

Swimming is cool. It took forever for me to develop the lungs for it though, still far from where I want to be.

Keep in mind, water’s not a good place to be when the zombie plague comes. We’re just not very manueverable in water and they can bite underwater. But if it’s a guarded indoor pool, that’s an entirely different story.

Oh. Diving is muy sexy. All through high school I attempted to learn how to jack-knife. Still can't do it.

Swimming is terrific exercise and very "zen".

Pools are too, too expensive here.

Good for you! I’m glad you’ve taken on a hobby / exercise regimen you can enjoy – and which you are actually good at! Is there a radar gun at the pool? Did you hit 17mph?

I too have the tendency to throw the frisbee into the street at the company picnic, so I feel your pain. I think I should take up frisbee-throwing lessons.

Also, I know this way that you can make some nice extra cash secret shopping. I totally made $900 last month having fun!

I enjoy the way pool water and ocean water leave your skin feeling tight. And the smell of the mixture of sweat and chlorine and salt. LOVE the water!

Ok. How the heck did you get out of the flex arm hang? And why was my much weaker younger sister always able to do it when I never could?

Ugh.
