1. Just curious, did you learn both things at the same time?

Because you might have been doing it wrong... ;)

[RPM]

2. how old are you

and how did yu make it this long without doing those wonderful things?

[Placebo]

3. I'm an 18 year old college freshman.

:hi:

[PartyPooper]

4. Ever hear of Esther Williams and Lance Armstrong?

:D

[VTdem]

5. I'd be nothing in college without a bike.

BTW im 18 and also a freshman at Virginia Tech. Where r u ?

[Placebo]

7. DePaul University @ Chicago

[Droopy]

6. Wow.

How did you entertain yourself when you were a kid? Actually I can see the not knowing how to swim thing, but riding a bike?

[Placebo]

8. I was an only child...

growing up in the city...that explains it I guess lol

[Droopy]

16. Ah I see

I grew up in the suburbs where a kid without a bike was like an alcoholic without a beer.

[Placebo]

18. Different worlds my friend.

It explains a lot.

[JohnKleeb]

20. but don't a lot of people in the city get along by foot

and I know there are pools in the city, so odd you didnt learn. Anyhow, not that my opinion matters but you should learn.

[Placebo]

21. I am READY to learn!

But...I have more important things to focus on. Like getting my degree in English than going to law school.

[JohnKleeb]

24. youre an english nerd too eh?

law school is great, what kind of law you thinking about. Anyhow man, what you should do is, when you get time go to a pool and get lessons, I am sure you can learn.

[JohnKleeb]

19. ha we think alike

god swimming too though, without swimming I'd never have my fear of speedos that said :D, ok I would but it would have happened at an older age, it happened at first when I was really young when I was on swim team.

9. You are an enigma PKA The Nation

oddest statements.

[Placebo]

14. Why thank you.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Why the hell not?

Those are life skills man, you should learn them.

[qnr]

11. can your bike swim? n/t

[Placebo]

12. Probably better than I can.

[murielm99]

13. I don't know how to swim, either.

My mother was deathly afraid of the water, and she was also convinced that we would get polio if we went swimming.

Did I mention that she is nuts?

My brothers learned to swim as adults. I should get around to it, too, I guess.

[Placebo]

15. We both should.

[JohnKleeb]

17. believe me learn

it is an essential life skill, I can not emphasize that enough.

[flying_monkeys]

23. I wholeheartedly concur.... (m)

Both are pretty necessary skills to master (and not too hard!)....

[JohnKleeb]

25. yep

swimming is always something that I enjoy doing.

[Minstrel Boy]

22. Hey, me too!

And I don't skate or drive a car, either. How cool is that?

[Placebo]

26. You're even cooler than me!

:yourock:

[argyl]

27. Do you live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? You said ask you

anything.

[Placebo]

29. I could live there...with your help!

But that's a whole other matter altogether.

[IronLionZion]

28. do you know what you've been missing?

does water scare you? it should. You best learn how to swim, you never know when you might need it.
