Today I was at the NUS pool and I had to witness two ugly swimmers. Ugly swimmers in the sense they swim (highly questionable what they were doing actually) in a terribly ugly manner. It looked like they were struggling. Picture this, fellow swimmers, freestyle with the head and face above water the entire time, arm flailing and legs kicking ever so hard. Two of them. Friends. I am beginning to wonder if they come from a foreign country that taught swimming the … wrong way. I am confident it is the wrong way because it’s not physio-ergonomical to do that, and there’s no specific purpose it fulfills. They weren’t even propelled forward very fast. It was an absolute horror to witness.
Guess what’s worse – I had to share lanes with these stupid guys. I was already swimming in the lanes designated for intermediate swimmers (they designate lanes for beginner and intermediate swimmers) and these stupid assholes had to come and swim in my lane. Can’t these shameless oafs tell that everyone thinks they swim weird? And let me say it once and for all – like running, there are standards to swimming styles. If you don’t make the cut, please don’t make a fool of yourself. It’s like running around the stadium track wearing flipflops with your arms akimbo – you’re a laughing stock.
All I ask if for idiots like that to know their place. It’s an eyesore.
I wonder what beginner means to them…. wahahahaha….
You should swim in the expert lane lah!!
LOL!
come to think of it… black cat, white cat, can catch mice means good cat.
good stroke, ugly stroke.. can keep yourself afloat means good stroke.
Keeping afloat is one thing, swimming for recreation is another. Would anyone run on all fours as a hobby, even though running on all fours is also running?
HAHA.
running on all fours is crawling!
