yeah this. he doesn't have a great feel for balance so no-pedals would help him get it. but i mean, i don't think it's really too possible to do a bad job so long as we're having a good time

actually have a video of the first time my son pedaled a bike. some other kid was using the tricycle he usually played with over there, so kind of in a pique he picked up this bike and just started riding it. i think he was surprised he could do it, he's totally stoked and yelling to get ppl to look.

i always think public pools are gross and gently caress off if i'm gonna have my own pool. so that limits me to the ocean (no) and lakes & rivers (eew lakeweeds)

so yeah i dont swim much

I want to ride my bicycle.

I'm not allowed to, can't find helmets large enough, plus the paralysis means I can't properly keep balanced.

I can still swim and dive really well though. That's one of the few things where I get going like I used to. Better, because my ability to control my breathing has been improved by the ventilator.

swimming is fun, good exercise, and probably the best way I'm aware of to not die in the water

I would scuba but I would probably never snorkel, I’m terrified of inhaling after accidentally dipping the end under the water

I am willing to admit that this could be a user error :shobon:

that happens all the time when you snorkel, you just blow it out

it’s also super obvious when water’s coming in rather than air, you have loads of time to stop from it actually getting into the mask

eh, you’d be surprised. one of the guys I dive with sometimes can’t really swim. if you can control your buoyancy and kick your feet you can dive. you’re just a big inflatable walrus on the surface anyway

I would strongly recommend knowing how to swim though

i think it’s cool but also like p bad to build a giant concrete thing in the middle of nowhere and then tell the public to come check it out

but like it’s also awesome art so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sort of reminds me of the background structures you’d get in the vaguely art deco dc cartoons

swimming is so fun. public pools are gross af so i doubt i will ever go in one again.

fun fact my parents found out i could swim when i ran ahead of them and jumped in the deep end. there was some panic and then relief at me doggie paddling away.

they said i told them i just knew i could do it.
