join me for a swim tonight?!

the atmosphere you get in a swimming pool isn’t much different from that of a gym. you enter one, spread yr eyes, and you find yourself in a pool full of busy bodies. from busy doing their swim, to busy just staring at other people.. gals checking out guys, guys checking out gals, guys checking out other guys.. it’s all about looks. voyeurism ambiance is thick.

seriously, for the last one, the pool i usually go to is notorious for one of gay meeting spots. in the olden days where i still live in southern part of the city i’d go to another pools, but with home and office in the central part it takes so much time and energy to go there. so i’ve to settle with this one. it’s strategic (less traffic), cheap (less than $1!) and has an olympic-size (50x25 m) pool. as long as the gays don’t make any funny scene, i don’t think they should be a problem. what about the non-gay? not to worry, so far i can ‘handle’ them. if in the future things get unbearable, guess i just get myself a whole new pool.. ;)

swimming pool is pretty much like other places where you could meet people. it’s thematic so easier to start a conversation, and yes, even to pick up someone. ideas for your next trip to the pool:
+ you seem to be a good swimmer, you come here often?
+ gosh the chlorine’s very thick, can you tell if my eyes are red?
+ let’s race!
+ a barbaric way is just deliberately collide yourself in your target.

as silly as it seems, people actually do those.. who knows if some of them actually work. maybe youn can share from your own experience ;)

routine swim could do your body good. i should do it more often, but most of the time i’m already tired working my a** off in the gym. pretty much of an aerobic freak. swim gives a different kind exhaustion than aerobicizing. it drains your remaining energy, yet relaxing. strange, eh? well, at least that’s how i feel after 20 trips across the pool (due to not so healthy lungs i can only endure crossing the width of the pool). got a ‘bonus’ of runny nose but my head’s more light. i’m sure i’ll get a good night sleep tonight.. zzzz..zzz..zz....
