I’m not a big fan of swimming as it is (it’s not that I can’t swim, it’s just not one of my favorite pastimes), but I think that diving into a lake or river is fraught with peril. This last summer my family and I took a vacation back to Colorado (my home state) to see some family. My brother, my cousin, a couple friends and I all decided to go whitewater tubing on the Arkansas river (yes it is dangerous, but that’s an issue for the therapists to deal with) and we came across a nice little pull off under a bridge. From the bridge hung a rope that was long enough to swing from out into the water from a high point on the bridges support. My cousin decided that the tubing just wasn’t fun enough so he decided to swing out on the rope and jump far out into the river. You guessed it, he hit a rock. He didn’t hurt himself too bad, the second time either. I guess the point in my incessant rambling is; if you don’t know exactly what’s in there, don’t jump into it.
