I've seen a few posts about swimming, so I was wondering how many Scratchers swim (on a swim team). What are your favorite strokes and events?
I like freestyle. Pretty much any length will do, but I guess 500 yards is my favorite.
Or, if you don't swim on a swim team, do you swim for fun?

I don't swim except for my rec pool.
My cousin swims though. Whenever I go swimming, my most amazing trick is the can opener. One time I belly-flopped. Yeah, don't do that unless your in a competition.

Yeah, my Middle school is up on the Diving/Swimming due to one of our Gym teachers being an Olympic swimmer, but she's retired.

All my middle school has is a track team. At least, that is all I am aware of. I haven't exactly started going there yet XD

Freestyle's my favorite stroke, but dolphin-kick is rather fun.![]()
Ever do fly-dives? Those are fun.
Joe: Your times are really good. I stink at breaststroke- don't even want to know what my time would be. How old are you?

I sometimes swim out into the ocean (when im at Cape May or Wildwood) just to get knocked back to surface

I "swim" for fun. I put swim in quotation marks because I have to use a floaty of some sort. XD

13.
My coach pushes us hard, though. I almost got kicked off the team because I was constipated and was late for practice. XD

I am on a swim team, and my favorite strokes are freestyle and breaststroke. I could swim it ever since age 5, my parents taught it to me. I am the fastest person in my team.
I just don't like any particular race.
