......Sooooooo.. my brother, he's taking lifegaurd courses.... to, you know.. become a lifegaurd. And he's been going down to the pool where he's taking the course lately, so he can practice for it. I came once before, didn't feel like swimming though. Today.. I did. I haven't swam in so long, and I was once a great swimmer. What's more, is that I haven't DOVE in probably over two years. I spent the entire time at the diving boards, because that first time I went.. I was just generally disgusted! I saw them little wimps over there jumping like fools.. I just had to show off and honestly..... I WAS DIVING BETTER THEN I EVER HAVE! I used to be quite fond of a running dive, but.. that backfired on my second go... the dude increased the spring on it right before I went over to start, and the second time I did a running jump, it was so springy that it hit the top of my foot.. so after that, I stuck to still jumping.

Now, I've never done any fancy spins or twists on my diving.. but I was springin' up around 4 feet high, and going in so clean it was amazing.

I was always in a constant battle with my brother in swimming. He always beat me.. we've supposedly been equal in diving.. but that's a lie! I was always better.. he had this up leg thing going on.. he'd bend his legs rather then keep them straight.... now though, he says afterwards "Okay, it's offical.. I am now the swimmer of the family, and Hunter's the diver".

I screwed up a lot, of course.. one time was really funny! I completly lost my center balance, and didn't even pull of the dive I ended up just jumping in because.. I kinda.. fell.....

Even though my legs hurt from climbing out around 40 times(I didnt use the ladder -_-", I'm definatley going back.. I was pumped with adrenaline, and was in da zone man! I've always enjoyed swimming, and diving especially. To be honest.. I feel I was meant to be a fish. I feel so much more comfortable in the water. Everytime I swim, I don't wanna get out. It just feels more right then this crappy land. D:

Oh, and here is a picture of that diving board whiplash

ouch mangled foot. maybe the adrenaline was why you didn't feel it hurt.

Adrenaline causes your immune system to freeze when you overload, saving your life!

Bands: Hey! If you are reading this....you have afros on your chest!

I actually didn't feel it till a while after... so, that's probably true.

On two other notes: going again tomorrow morning. Let's just hope I don't hurt my foot again . And.. that picture was taken pretty early, it looks twice as bad now >_> it looks like they were some kinda cauterized wounds, or regrown skin.
