do they still have the whirlpool thing where you float round a circle course thinggy, and if you hold onto the sides it cuts up your fingers. i used to love the giant blow up things they had that you jump from one to the other

yeah they have the whirl pool. but either - they have turned it down, or i am stornger than i was when i was younger because it doesn't seem to be as strong anymore. i think it's a combination of the 2.

i used to swim competitively during my highschool years. State competitions would normally be held at homebush. That whirlpool rocked ;)
The olympic pool is so so deep. It's really kinda scary.

ive always been a naturally talented swimmer..

my first ever competitive race was the 50m breastroke heat in year 6, in which i came second.

the following race was the final, in which i finished 4th, out of 8 contestants. I was quite pleased with my performance and decided to follow the road to professional swimming.

however, the dream never became reality.

now i am lucky if i can make it from one end to the other of your regulation backyard swimming hole without swallowing a lungful of water.

but i do enjoy swimming nonetheless :)

i don't like the way you shower after hanging out at the beach all day, and your costume is full of sand

was this fat guy hairy! hahaha, not only would it suck to be stuck on the side of the whirlpool, whinded on impact, but having a mouthful of hair would be funnier!
