I never learned to breathe properly, and panic when doing the front crawl. I also could never open my eyes in the water.

My mom put me on a swim team when I was a pre-teen. I remember the crowd cheering wildly for the "special" kid (me) that came in a minute after everyone else in the butterfly.

I saw some creepy fish when snorkeling in Maui, and never went back in the ocean.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by every day
