I grew up in Kenya. You simply did not swim in rivers because of bilharzia. And I'm too old to change now.
Have you ever peed in a swimming pool?

Of course. :p
Do you enjoy laying on a beach?
I enjoy laying on a beach, but really I prefer it remain short and spend my time in the river, lake, stream, or ocean that beach is attached to.
What is the largest animal you've come close to while swimming?
;:angel:..:angel:
I'm really happy for you ;)Quote:

In answer to airshifters previous q. I have swum with dolphins and even sharks. We were at the North Island surf-lifesaving champs a few years ago, and I was swimming in the surf race. Part way round the course I felt something brush past my leg, this happened three or four times. When we got out of the sea the organisers told us there were three grey nurse sharks cruising through the race area.
I have also kayaked with a pod of orcas off the New Plymouth coast.
Question.
Do things you can't see frighten you? I am thinking about the things that live in the sea etc, and do they stop you from swimming?
Maybe not scare me, but i do wonder about unseen things lurking in the hidden depths. Its part of the human make up I think. Its like being afraid of the dark. No real reason for it, but the thought something might be there.
Are you afraid or nervous in the dark?
no. This might sound creepy, but I like the dark. :)
What scares you more than anything else?
Heights. I'll go up on the roof of the first story of my house, but you'd need a shotgun to get me up the ladder to the second story. Which is really weird because when I was in the army I'd stand in the door of my helicopter and it didn't bother me at all.
What's the scariest movie you ever saw?
