Pool Safety

[sanada_g]

A few people have told me they can't swim so I'm sure there are more people on base who aren't confident in their swimming skills. 

Since this seems a ridiculous survival skill to not have, I will be happy to offer water safety and swimming basic instructions on Tuesday and Thursday between 7-8pm. It would start after the expedition leaves. If you are interested, let me know. 

And remember, if you don't know how to swim, don't go to the pool on your own. I don't want it closed because someone died in it.

wait, we cant use the pool without you?

[sanada_g]

You can swim without me if you use the buddy system. And the buddy must be a confident swimmer.

[kirihara_akaya]

what if I dont have a buddy? or no how to swim grate?

[sanada_g]

grate --> great

Then only swim when others are at the pool and wear a flotation device.

You can come to the lessons to learn how to swim. We can have fun after.

[kirihara_akaya]

the floating things look stupid tho

[sanada_g]

Then learn to swim. Problem solved.

[kirihara_akaya]

Swim is a verb so you use well.

[kirihara_akaya]

[sanada_g]

Then remember to use the buddy system and flotation devices if you can't float and move on your own.

[chickens]

I’m glad you seem to have given up on the dream of swimming with me, Sanada.

[sanada_g]

You don't want me as your buddy?

[chickens]

... sanada, I appreciate you immensely but no.

Perhaps I can just dangle my feet in it.

[sanada_g]

Hmmmm.... I think I should feel insulted.

If that's how you relax and enjoy the pool, that's fine. But water safety should still be learned.

We'll have your first lesson after you're back from the mission and are rested. You shouldn't swim when you're tired.
