Swimming is a confusing sport because sometimes you do it for fun and sometimes you do it to not die, and when I'm swimming sometimes I'm not sure which one it is.

When I was little and almost drown, I experienced this dichotomy. I was swimming for fun at first and then not to die. And then swimming wasn't so fun for a while because I didn't know how to do it. And then I learned but I'm still not great at it. But when I went to an improv class and we had to pretend we were swimming I went ahead and pretended I knew what I was doing. I don't think anyone could tell I wasn't great at it.
I may not be a strong swimmer, but I'm excellent at improv swimming.
