[quote="[DAS REICH]Unknown_Sniper":dd11b]Wheres the fun in that? it adds a whole new dimension when you swim in the ocean. I was once swimming out at Coronado (San Diego, CA) and a whole group of dolphins jump started swimming next to me and my mom it was freaking awsome. Then my dad said that where there were dolphins there was usually a shark. I didnt care to swim after that

. Then my mom gut stung by a stingray that ended the fun times we had at the beach[/quote:dd11b]

if there's a group of dolphins you don't have to worry about sharks.
sharks are mostly solitary and are in ones twos or threes no match for a group of faster, and smarter dolphins. Also you don't have to worry about if you get a cramp, dolphins are famous for towing swimmers-in-trouble back to shore (scientists think that the dolphin may mistake the thrashing for another dolphin in trouble and helps the person)

The sharks are some pretty cool stuff. They dont bother me that much, its the barracudas that scare me. They can be pretty aggressive. Nurse sharks are pretty docile. You can pick lobsters out of the same holes as them, as long as you dont piss them off. Sharks typicall dont want anything to do with people. Most shark attacks happen because people are stupid - i.e. surfing/swimming in feeding areas.

Yeah, they have alot of cudas in Filipino waters, but I've never seen one.

I'm not saying you, Chavez in general, but what about swimming is difficult that people can't do it? I mean, treading water, the backfloat, all that crap, etc. I can understand those being kinda difficult. But what about just going into water and using your arms and legs? I never really got how people couldn't do it.
