My Insights

I was swimming in the pool at the CRC. The pool is huge for those who don’t know but I think the team was practicing and there were a couple of classes going on. That didn’t leave much room for other people like us. I was in the shallow region where they didn’t have lane dividers. So, I was just chillin’ there, had just finished racing Ami and was getting ready for another race. So the time comes for another race and this time we decide that we will not go together since there was no room for 2 people to squeeze through. We would go in succession and keep tab by the clock. So I get ready, push my legs against the wall and take off with a great start. I gave it a second or two before I started moving my arms. And before I know it, something hits me hard in the head. I get up and see another guy standing up with his hand on his head. I apologized to him and all that good stuff. After that, I said to myself: that’s it! I’m going home. After coming back to the locker room, I looked in the mirror and there was a noticeable bump on my head. And the only thought that was running through my mind during this whole incident was: “If this can happen to 2 people in a swimming pool and it can hurt like this, then I just shudder to imagine what it would be like to have a head-to-head collision with a fast moving car!” Oh well, I learnt my lesson and I’ll be damned if you find me swimming in a crowded pool again.

PS: Well that is unless the pool is full of hot chicks
