Who Taught You to Swim

[kumu]

I learned at a beach sheltered by off shore reefs. Its important to learn the ocean. It has its wonders and its beauty, it can give you a lot of fun, but you can never completely trust it, you have to be aware of your surroundings and whats happening, all the time. Actually I prefer lake swimming, there is nothing that I am aware of that can get you in a lake: no sharks, sting rays, jelly fish, no rip tides, no sneaker waves. But still, in the ocean you can put on a dive mask and see really incredible beauty down there, or ride waves one way or another for hours on end.
