Swimmertainment

Okay friends, here we are again for another swimmertainment! Today I would like to focus on the good old, "Please, I beg of you, do not do that again."

So y'all remember the guy in the rainbow striped speedo? He is the one who would swim a length of the pool, hop out and either do jumping jacks, sit ups, push ups or all three. Well it is bad enough for a young (about 19), very thin guy to do this. It is a whole other story when a guy who is about 10 - 15 years older, about 150 pounds overweight, and very hairy does this. Thankfully he was not wearing a speedo! However it is rather awkward sharing a lane with said guy as he is climbing and pulling his way out of the pool as you are finishing a lap and his shorts are starting to droop and all you see is a hairy butt crack. "Please, I beg of you, stop doing that!" Please leave the pool for swimming and take the jumping jacks, sit ups, and push ups somewhere else!

Going back to yesterday's blog on what not to wear, I would like to talk about the other end of the spectrum. I have seen a lot (both in number and the physical amount) of butt cracks because bathing suites are too small. Please wear something that fits. While on this subject of what not to wear, if you are a guy and you have any extra weight (more specifically 100 pounds or more) please do not wear a speedo. I do not say this to be mean, I simply say this to say that it is not a good look and it is kinda awkward for everyone else. Ladies, your turn. Bikinis are great if you are in shape and sitting by the pool or on the beach. Please do not try to swim laps in a bikini. It is not a functional or practical bathing suite to swim laps in. Although it is HIGHLY entertaining to watch you attempt said task. So if you wear a bikini to swim laps, please know that I will have atleast a grin on my face as I watch you!

On another day in the pool, I finish up with my laps, grab my towel and head back to the locker room. The locker room is a fairly open space with lockers in the main part with bathroom stalls, shower stalls, and changing rooms off of the open space. When I walk into the locker room after swimming said laps and notice this gal changing into her bathing suite right next to the locker that I was using. A smidge awkward already but okay. Well as I get closer, I advert my eyes and quickly grab my bag so I can take it to a changing room when the lady jumps and yells "Excuse me! Why are you standing so close to me and why are you looking at me? Can't you tell that I am trying to change in privacy?!" I almost couldn't tell if she was being serious. I kind of wanted to laugh at the absurdity of this. I didn't know what to do so I just turned around and walked away. This is when I say "Please, I beg of you, stop doing that!" If you not want people to see you change, please use one of the changing rooms, otherwise please do not yell at people. It was highly entertaining to say the least.

I have one more story, as of right now, to share with you, but it is something crazy/ridiculous that I did while swimming. So I will save it for later. Hope y'all enjoyed today's ridiculousness!

All in.
