I love the YMCA, I go there every Wednesday and take a half hour of semi-redundant swim lessons then my brother and I get to swim for a few hours until the rest of my siblings have finished their lessons. I love to swim, when I'm underwater I can fly for as long as I can hold my breath, feeling my body twisting and turning as little silver bubbles race past my eyes and vanish into the light at the surface. Yesterday we played ricochet tag, basically the only way you can move is by pushing off the walls, no swimming around. It gets really intense and the exhilaration is only augmented by the lack of oxygen getting to your brain. :P I think that swimming and flying are the closest that we as human being can be to complete freedom, (as long as the airplane is a good one!)
Another advantage of swimming is that you get buff, never a bad thing in my book since I'm about as skinny as they come. Ah well...
