Once I'll be swimming over the channel. TO EAT FRENCH FRIES!!

So, you know, I swim. I try to go once or twice (or not at all) a week, and then swim about 1500 to 2000 meter. Sometimes I find it boring, sometimes funny and sometimes relaxing. Sometimes I feel like a village idiot, splashing around, trying to count my laps and to not accidently kill myself by drowning. You would say that there would be some hunky (I truly hate myself for using that word) lifeguard to save me when I start to show signs of dying, but no-no, the fantastic lifeguards here at Førde just sit there and knit, or play with a ball, eat oranges or chit-chat. Every 15 minutes one of them looks up to check the water for blood and then they go right back to doing whatever they were doing. Really reassuring.

According to me there are three types of swimmers:

The sport type.

They are usually recognized by the Adidas Speedo’s, multicolored swimming goggles and nice little swim hat-type-thingy. They are muscular, fast and experts in avoiding crashing into the other swimmers. This type swims with splashy streaks and loud breathe noises. They kind of remind me of fish. And I must say that they are really scary.

The old people.

Well what is there to say? They are old and grey and swim without caring about the other swimmers. Just straight forward, gear 2 and there is no reverse. To be honest that sounds like me when I drive. (Driving Miss Crazy)

The fairly normal type.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe…Wait wtf? Why is there water all up myhbjwjnnknjnbn….. *peep peep peep* Gotta find something to… hold... on… to… Uche uche UCHEE. Ah well. My lungs can cope with some water. Breathe in. Breathe out…

This type wears normal beachwear. They have no goggles, no hats and no tiring breathing systems. No they just swim to have fun and maybe to lose some weight. Hair is flowing around them and they noiselessly (Well, you know, drowning noises) swim around the old people and the pro’s. I am one of these. It is nice to be one of these, although I am considering buying myself a pair of goggles. To look a bit more pro, because they kind of look a bit cool.

To show you how it’s like I used my excellent paint skills and painted/drew/used my mouse pad you the swimming pool when I’m in it.

Those colourful dots are the pro's being all pro and sleek. The brown dot to the left is me, making a lot of waves. Such talents.
