Can't swim.
I know, even better...
:rolleyes:

Dirtona. Been stuck in this ****hole most of my life.

You live on an island. Why the **** can't you swim?

Hey it's not as if we're all constantly walking precariously around the coastline, hoping not to fall in you know! We have a lot of that stuff called "inland". I live near-ish the coast, but couldn't tell you the last time I saw the ocean, sea or even a lake. Seriously.

I just never learned though. I don't like the water. When I used to go across to England on one of the old cattle boats when I was young I always got seasick. If I ever fall in, I'm drowning, man.

If you think about it, you're on a goddamn island too. It's just a whole lot bigger than mine. Shut up.

You never learned to swim because of seasickness?

I can swim though.

I never learned to swim cos I don't like the water. I was using the seasickness thing as an indication to show that EVEN WHEN ON A SHIP I still don't like being that close to the water. Nothing to do with seasickness/swimming; I just do not like the water. Never have, never will. Also I hated the smell in the swimming baths, the chlorine, and if I ever had any intention of trying to swim on the school swimming outings, that sealed the deal for me.
Good for you.
That'll really come in handy when Putin nukes the eastern seaboard, won't it? Or Trump does.

I was just asking because seasickness is caused by inner ear imbalance, not fear of the water.

Speaking from personal experience, water is easier to deal with when your chance of drowning and dying in it decreases.

Haven't you ever been in a swimming pool? You don't drown at the shallow end.

I'm not a good swimmer tbh. I can do it, but I struggle after about 20 metres. I think it's poor technique as I tire myself out really quickly. It took me ages to get my 25 metre badge in school, was the last one to get it. Top sprinter though won all the sports day races >>>
