learn to dive

I didn’t dive this summer, maybe I never will, maybe this isn’t worth my time…I didn’t want to give up, but I just didn’t even try. I think I’ll try again next summer.

I watched people dive the other weekend, it looked scary. They go down so far. Why do you even want to go that far down? If you just jump in you can flail your arms and legs so that when you hit the water you hardly sink at all.

I was at the cottage last weekend…no diving. I just can’t even work up the courage to stand in the correct form. I just jump in, and not even a very graceful jump at that. I think I need to work on it with my sister some time when no one is around because I don’t care if she laughs at me.

I was at a pool this past weekend and I didn’t dive. In fact, I didn’t even jump in, I climbed down the ladder.

I went swimming this past weekend, but the water was cold and so I just climbed down the ladder to get in. I didn’t even jump. My uncle dived in. It looked terrifying.

I do really want to be able to dive, but I’ve tried and tried. I need to try harder even though I don’t want to.
