Do you like swimming?
If your school had a
swimming carnival would you go?
I ask because yesterday
it was Leo's swimming carnival and it was a stinking hot day so you
would expect that Leo would like to go to his swimming carnival but
no, he out right refused to go. Now when I took Leo to school, I
realised to that I forgot to take his swimming gear so I rang Jessica
and told her to get stuff and take it to him at the school. However,
she said she didn't have the clothes he needed and wanted me to take
the clothes to him so I got pissed and threw stuff in a bag and went
and got Jessica and we both went to the school but because there was
no buses there Jessica said that the buses must have already left. So
instead we went to the pool but he wasn't there they hadn't arrived
so Jessica rang the school and the buses were just getting ready to
leave.
When the buses arrived
we couldn't find Leo so she went and found his teacher who said that
Leo wasn't there he refused to go so we spent 45 minutes waiting at
the pool for nothing.
Leo's school also has
swimming lessons for sport this term and when asked if he would like
to do swimming for sport he said NO he doesn't want to he doesn't
like swimming, so that was $80 that Jessica saved.
Oh yeah we had paid the
$8 for the swimming carnival and are hoping to either get that money
back or have it transferred over to something else.
When my girls were at
school they also didn't like going to the swimming carnival or the
sport carnival just like their mum I also didn't go to and of the
carnivals during my school years.
I can't imagine not liking swimming. I do not have a pool, and it was many years before I got back into one. Now I'm hooked and I Love it!
ReplyDeleteI loved swimming as a child and my parents had a pool and I lived in it during summer
DeleteI don't swim very well, but I like to paddle around the pool when it's hot. It sounds as if disliking the swimming carnival runs in your family.

I don't swim either but loved being in the pool as a child
DeleteAlways went to school swimming carnivals, sons didn't mind swimming as it was for them to learn to save themselves if necessary in the water.
ReplyDeleteI loved swimming and spent a lot of time in the family pool but the thought of a carnival didn't appeal to me maybe because I was picked on a lot at school
DeleteI was never interested either! How nice to read I wasn't the only one.
ReplyDeleteNice for us to read that we were not alone too
DeleteI love swimming. Can't wait till summer
ReplyDeleteIf I had a pool I would use it
DeleteI used to teach swimming lessons and consider that basic swimming skills as fairly important BUT I do understand that many people don't care for swimming. It's not something you can force.
