Not a fish you'd like to encounter in the wild
Sure, but that's a flattering picture of it. It's got human looking teeth.
So happy that we've got not dangerous fish or animals where I live!
The sea is full of scary looking creatures. I think we're so used to seeing "regular" fish that we're shocked to see other types of sea creatures that are rarely portrayed in media.
And I had planned to get over my phobia of swimming (love water, loved swimming, but when you fall into a pool things change) this summer, too. Looks like one more reason to remain scared.
ICYMI: E.Coli Concerns Prompt Bottled Water Recall; Company Defends Product | Reston, VA Patch Anyways, heard about the water bottle recall? Apparently, they have found E.Coli in some of the water that is used in some of the water bottle products.
Not to discourage you or anything, Dreaded_Desire62. I thought this thread was about swimming and not water bottle recalls? xD
I -love- swimming. In my family, knowing how to swim- and swim well- was mandatory. I was learned how to swim when I was 2 years old and still in diapers. The public pool that I took lessons at had a 20 ft high diving board, and I was the only kid that wanted to jump off of it. The teacher (who was my sister's boyfriend at one point) would follow me up the ladder, make me stand in one spot until he got in the water to catch me if I needed it, and then I'd jump!
That next Summer, when I was 3, I was on my hometown's swim team. I did that for 10 years. I regret quitting.
When I was in first grade, my got back into buying boats. We started off with a little Cobalt ski boat, but then he traded it in for a Sea Ray that had a cabin in it with 2 beds, a small bathroom, table and chairs, and cooking stuff. We slowly upgraded from there until my parents finally sold their house and bought a houseboat to live on.
tl;dr , growing up, my Springs and Summers were spent either in the pool or on the lake/river. Or at one of the swimming holes up in the mountains around my hometown.
The only bad experience with swimming that I've ever had happened when I wassss idk 6 or 7? My sister was lifeguarding at the pool with the 20 ft diving board that Summer (as opposed to the pool in our hometown). I'd just jumped off of the lower diving board and was swimming under the rope that separates the diving area from the rest of the pool, and my hair got caught in it- right by my scalp on the crown of my head. And I was on the corner, so no lifeguards could see me. I couldn't hardly get up for air, but I somehow finally managed to rip my hair out and get free.
Do you mean these teeth?Sure, but that's a flattering picture of it. It's got human looking teeth.
So happy that we've got not dangerous fish or animals where I live!
