that is sort of like my husband who was a lifeguard for years - he can swim but he can't float - and in survival school they didn't believe him and kept telling him he just didn't know how to float -- so he would try and try and he floats for about a second then his legs go down then they pull him under --  as long as he is moving his arms and legs he can stay up the minute he stops under the water he goes. ...I'll have to ask him tomorrow to tell the story again about how he passed the swimming test during Navy basic training. I can't remember if they just passed him because they wanted him in radar school, or if he swam it under water, or what.  OK, here's how it worked out for him: Apparently in basic training the Navy didn't care that he could not swim. When he went for his advanced training (in that new-fangled RADAR stuff), those who couldn't swim had to go to a special remedial sort of swimming course. To successfully complete it you had to swim one length of the pool (those who could swim had to take a course with a requirement to swim something like 3 laps). When it came his turn to take the test, my dad took a deep breath, dove off the edge of the pool with as much forward thrust as possible, and made it to the other end entirely under water. He also told me that after the war while in college a swimming teacher said he could teach him to swim by using the side stroke, claiming it was the easiest way. After my dad came up from his first attempt with one elbow scraped raw from dragging along the bottom of the pool, the instructor gave up.  PS: Congrats to the winners, and happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. |

Shiiiiiiiiiiit!!! I just spent the past 3 1/2 hours composing my father's day entry. I hit spell check, the thingy twirled and twirled and then; Internet Explorer can not display the page!!! Hit back arrow forward arrow. Couldn't retrieve it. It is 5 am and I've been up all night thinking and typing. THE WORST OF IT: is I was going to print it and give it to my Dad tomorrow (today actually) with his Father's Day gift. I could cry right now. I am so ticked. AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrr. On that note: Goodnight. (morning) whatever. d*mn, I'm ticked.
So sorry that you experienced that sjc.  It has happened to me as well and it is always after I have written some long post or email. |
