Ok this isnt a serious rant, more just like a ughhhh rant
So me n my bro planned a freakin week ago to go swimming tonight so i get all ready and chug one of those huge monsters cuz i was tired...
And he bails.. and im frrakin trancended to another dimension on this caffiene rush so my brains like "swimswimswimswimswim"
So i text my boyfriend and he freakin says its weird to swim with just one person... dude wtf! Thats the perfect way to swim! Also... were dating u freakin soggy bagel
So i hit up one of my buds i havnt hung out with in ages and shes down to go last minute swimming but her mum says she cant go [emoji19]

So yeah now im her on an exercise bike pedaling out my energy since theres nobody to go swimming with posting this rant because aghhhhh

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIm just a sucky swimmer at the moment so having someone to help me troubleshoot and laugh with helps with some of the anxiety
When i get a lil more confident ill prob start goin by myself

Do you have any friends who are swimmers? Maybe you can chat with them to get a few beginner sets to work on when you're on your own. If you're still in school, maybe sit in on practices , chat with the coach, or become manager for the swim team (if you have one) so you can learn more.

There are also TONS of resources online to help you develop skills from a complete beginner starting point. Don't be afraid of making a fool out of yourself--everyone starts somewhere, and having the courage to show up is admirable in itself.

That's a bummer, I hate when people flake out. But there's nothing weird about swimming alone.

I don't really know the context of this image, because I didn't read the thread. I just saw it and wanted to stop in and say, whoever's face this is is GOREGOUS. Like seriously, you should be a model. (Hope that didn't come off as creepy)
