Out of water I'm a walrus undergoing electro-shock therapy...

...in the water I think I've moved up the scale to 'spastic whale'.

So far I've thought up 6 levels of swimming competence. Please feel free to suggest more.

1. Rock - not so much swimming as... sinking
2. Driftwood - floating is now possible, but that's about it.
3. Spastic Whale - a lot of blubber jerking and thrashing in the water, but moving!
4. Wounded Seal - still painful to watch, but making progress.
5. Salmon - has the mechanics of a strong swimmer, but no grace.
6. Porpoise - strong, graceful swimmer.

Someday I hope to move up to Wounded Seal, and maybe come within spitting distance of Salmon (but that's probably not likely).

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life, if you're remotely interested in it.
