Mr.
I found your letter inspiring, as I have recently started swimming because of a trip to the Bahamas to go snorkeling, I remembered the last time I was active in snorkeling I would tire easily. So I watched so vids, and started practicing learning strokes and such. Im 44 and sometimes I feel foolish as I look like a fish out of water, and seeing actual swimmers swim I really feel it. But when I'm done flailing I do feel the workout and I SEE results if the last few weeks, so that motivated me to get a powerbreather by ameo and that is such a help since I'm not a strong swimmer yet I experience issues with keeping my head up.
Your letter speaks to the guy that LOVES the water and lives in Florida, but spent years being lazy and not active. Thanks for your words and your spirit. You gained a sub and I will put your vids to good use

To help some of y'all understand, swimming is one of those sports where it's not fun, but enjoyable. Other sports like football or basketball or baseball or softball or volleyball or soccer or handball or even chess to name a few are all games, they are fun to do. We as swimmers do not have games, it's more like running/track and field, it is a mode of transportation. We go to meets, not games, and we can be dequed, or our time will become invalid over taking a breath, so you can imagine how different it is. Not to mention swimming is a year round sport where as other sports usually have seasons.

All these comments are negative but swimming is truly a unique sport that isnt like others and people dont understand how hard it is to do all of these and people underestimate the amount of effort you have to put in swimming. Me as a swimmer I have to put a lot of effort in to stay in it. I love the sport and I will never quit. And always support non swimmer the pros of swimming and what it can do for you.
If you have any question comment and Ill answer your good or ridiculous question.

Yesterday, some kids wanted to challenge me to a race. I told them It wouldn't be a good idea to race me, I'm just too good.
They insisted. I didn't want to destroy them in a race, so I pretty much said This is why we can't race against each other. Then I gunned it to the opposite end of the pool while they were just looking at me, with awe. I probably did a 15: 02 on the 25 meter. Not my fastest, but a pretty good time.

I'm really experienced and I've been swimming since i can remember but any extra tips won't do any harm: )

Why dont people get the point of this video? Its supposed to reach out to the swimmers watching it. Its supposed to highlight what a wonderful thing it is to be a swimmer in the swimming community. Its supposed to be sarcastic and quirky for a reason.

Billions of people swim. People who swim are perfectly normal. This video is trying to frame swimmers as eccentric outcasts, which couldn't be farther from the truth. SWIMMING IS NOT WEIRD
