swim in the ocean

I’ve never swam in the ocean in a bathing suit – one piece or two. In fact, I have not worn a bathing suit or swan in any body of water since I was in my teens. I’ve waded in up to my knees a time or two but that’s not swimming. The last time I remember actually putting on a swim suit and getting in a pool was in 1977. After that life happened and I didn’t have the time nor the inclination to swim for swim’s sake. I love to take pictures of water in lakes, rivers, ponds, streams and of course the ocean but never immerse myself fully in them. I’d like to think I equate water with emotion. I see one and avoid the other.
