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.

Hmmm a lofty goal but a bit difficult.

Let's learn to float first.

[sanada_g]

Drownings can happen even when family, friends, and many others are nearby. It's easy to get distracted and miss a person in distress.

[sanada_g]

But will he want to be your buddy every time you want to swim?

[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?

[kin_chan]

yah it was VRY DIFFICULR i only got 5STEOS IN thn I fell

OOHHH i kno his to float!!

[chickens]

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

Perhaps I can just dangle my feet in it.

[sanada_g]

5 is impressive.

And excellent work Tooyama. That will make learning the other steps much easier.

[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.

[mmmarui]

Not you tho you're perfect

[sanada_g]

That's ridiculous.

During the lessons, I will have to keep a sharp watch and remain focused to not miss anything.

[mmmarui]

Yeah but like, you're the only one who knows how to focus. The rest of us are just idiots who don't know what we're doing. Maybe you can teach me how to use my brain sometime, I bet you're really good at that.

[sanada_g]

That's not true and not what I think. I don't play these games with Niou and I won't play them with you.

[mmmarui]

Well it's how you're acting. Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you genuinely don't know how you come off to other people, but you sound condescending as hell. And just for extra clarification, most people aren't into being condescended to.

[chickens]

Why is my name being dragged into this

[chickens]

Hey Marui, did you know that flatworms penis fence for dominance? And stab each other into submission?

[sanada_g]

I have been told that written words can be confusing for people to interpret. So let me clarify, I am just concerned for those that don't have water safety skills as I see them as essential survival skills and I am well versed in drowning statistics and lead causes of incidents. I have some experience teaching others how to swim and thought to offer my help to others.

Also, for you specifically, should I not care about Kirihara's well-being?

[sanada_g]

Aren't you known for asking annoying questions and getting people to imply things they don't mean?

[chickens]

No. You must be thinking about someone else.

[sanada_g]

Ah. Perhaps it was this engineer I once met... I think his name was Uion.

[mmmarui]

Hey Niou, did you know that I don't care?

[mmmarui]

Cool! I appreciate that. You're a good guy for offering your skills. The part I didn't appreciate was where you jumped right to 'what if Marui is fucking around with his camera instead of responsibly watching the guy who can't swim' instead of, I don't know, finding any other reason for Akaya to learn to swim. You do get how that's insulting, right?

[chickens]

Gosh, good thing he’s dead then. I’d hate to be confused with him and his annoying questions again.

[chickens]

Maybe I was trying to secretly horrify Sanada away from the conversation with the talk about sex.

[sanada_g]

That would be a true tragedy.
