I've never been the best swimmer, not even close to the worst either. Past and new life I've stood on the sidelines and watched others take a dive, not because I was afraid of drowning, no, anyone can kick their legs and flail their arms to keep afloat. But I stopped because I hate the feeling of water in my eyes.
It stings, it's unnatural, water in the eye on a constant. And I'm expected to use the same eyes, eyes going through a permanent hum of pain from the water, to navigate my way around the deep ends of the water.
I never spent more than a few seconds or if by miracle I spent a minute or two in the water. I have no experience with this and I'm not looking to get some. The stinging can't be helped, but in the water I found I can minimize how much it stings by peeling them open to have a look at where Jungle is headed every so often.
