swim test tomorrow? ok so last week we had a swim test for school but i didn't have my stuff. (we were supposed to bring a t-shirt or something to swim in and i forgot the swim suit bottoms) the last swim test i took was in 6th grade and now im in high school. so last time in 6th grade it was just swimming like halfway across the pool whatever style you wanted. but when i was watching the other people i found out we had to freestyle like twice around the pool, and i can't freestyle, and i would have to hang on to the side of the pool because i would get tired too fast. if i fell in the pool or something i would be fine, be able to get out and swim around and all that. but all i can do is dog paddle and i'm also on a heavy period and i'm one of those poeple where tampons just won't work. i've tried. the teacher seems generally nice, but i'm hella worried she's not gonna believe me and make me swim anyways. i'd not only embarass myself with the period and look like an idiot doing an impression of freestyle and also fail it because i would have to stop halfway through because i would be so tired. and if you're wondering why i can't freestyle, i'm just naturally bad at swimming. i didn't learn to swim til i was like 10 or 11 and now i'm turning 15 this year. and i didn't even have lessons, i just taught myself. what do you think will happen? :| any encouragement/advice?
also i'm not a bad p.e. student or anything. i'm usually really enthusiastic and try hard, it's just i'm NOT a swimming person at all. i would rather run a mile every day we did swimming.(as long as i had my ipod haha). It's just one of those things you really wish you could just skip you know? I'm fine with every other sport but swimming is one of the worst things ever for me. i've always hated swimming :| sorry for all the bitching, i'm just giving you all an example of how bad i would rather do other things other than swimming.
