This really upsets me because, as students of a top university, we owe it to ourselves to voice our opinions at the unfairness some of us are exposed to. Guys wearing Speedos at the Recreation Pool. I encountered this horrific display during a visit to the pool to do some research for a column on swimming. I don't usually do any research for a particular topic, but I made an exception this week in order to provide you, the reader, with the highest possible quality of journalism, despite the very strong possibility that I might have to see girls parading around wearing close to nothing. Don't thank me, I'm just doing my job.
Swimming also happens to be a very healthy activity.
If you go running, you'll get cramps, aches and pains, and the best possible thing that could happen to is that you don't tear every ligament in your knees. What you go swimming, you don't actually have to swim. You can just sit at the edge of the pool with your legs kicking back and forth, where the only possible injury you might incur would be a twisted neck. But if you're feeling energetic and want to do some actual swimming you'll first need to learn the basic strokes. I base this statement on a massive survey I conducted, which consisted of an estimated four girls who I interviewed while drinking beer at a party.
