So today being a weekend, I decided to join my friends for swimming just to distract me from my nduthi escapades (btw today marks the 5th day since I last gurumishad the nduthi). I carried my bag and headed out with the guys destination swimmo. Kufika huko si mambo ni kuchange into shorts and after a shower I head to the swimming pool area. Being my first time kujaribu hii maneno I head straight to the baby pool to get familiar with the water before the main event. Huko mambo ni poa hakuna kelele then my friends invite me to the main pool, huko wamepatana na mamanze wanajibamba and trying not to be the odd one out mimi huyo nikaingia shallow end. Napata kamanze katamu hivi pia kamejifunga ma floaters kumbe hakajui kuswim tu ka mimi. But I lie to her that I have been swimming since I was young.
Sasa after hekaya moja mbili hivi dem ananifeel nikaamua kuonyeshana ujuaji wangu, kuleta uchampe kwa maji. Mimi huyo kujichocha ati naswim kumbe najishikilia down nikisonga na kupiga maji na mguu. Dem naye yuko za go Kush go! Ufala yangu I didn’t notice nimefika kwa border ya shallow na deep end. Bila warning mimi huyo nikapotelea deep end “chubwi”. Waah! kumbe maji huwa noma hivi. Nimekunyua tot kadha za hiyo maji huku napiga manduru, after a few seconds which seemed like forever someone akarusha a floater and one of the girls who is a good swimmer by the way helped me kujisecure na hiyo floater na akanivuta nayo mpaka shallow end. Kufanyiwa ma first aid kiasi huku maswali za kifala ati “are you ok” mara “what happened, I thought you are a good swimmer” Hata sikukaa hapo tena. I changed and left immediately. Am now back to my room, mambo ya swimmo na mimi … I RATHER DIE, siwes cheza uko tena. Now waiting for the noise makers to come back nipewe maneno. Any similar or worse experience?
pia mimi nilijipata kwa same situation sum decades ago huko @whispering palms coasto. From that dy i swore, kama maji imepita kiasi ile basin ya ushago ya chuma, wacha ikae.
when i was four or five my sisters, cousins and aunties were washing clothes by the river as we youngins played in a pool. i have never known how i drifted into the current but suddenly i was being swept downstream. niliokolewa 30 metres downstream…zile nduru zilikuwa hapo ziliniacha na trauma that i leave with to.date; nikiguzwa na maji baridi lazima nikojoe… needless to say tunayokubaliana nayo ni ya karai, shower au mvua pekee.
Two vodoski tots…for your progress ;)…pole kwa kudrown kidogo…in our class we learnt how to swim kwa deep end …by being thrown by the instructor if you did nt volunteer the first time u feel like ur goin to die
