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]

[sanada_g]

Then learn to swim. Problem solved.

[kirihara_akaya]

[sanada_g]

[kirihara_akaya]

[sanada_g]

Swim well.


Swim is a verb so you use well.

[kirihara_akaya]

why wood i swim in a well?

[sanada_g]

I still want to make sure you don't drown.

Drownings are often silent and if he's filming a video thing he may not even notice you're in trouble until you're dead.

[sanada_g]

wood --> would


Good and well have the same meaning. One is used with nouns the other is with verbs.

[kirihara_akaya]

why wold he be making a video at the pool?

[sanada_g]

Making videos is his job.

[kirihara_akaya]

sometimes i think you just make all this up

[sanada_g]

I promise that it's real. The rules are ridiculous but we still have to follow them.
