Well my thread about swimming and skiing got me thinking about other physical activities that are fun while under the influence of our favorite herb. One thing came immediately to mind: Swimming! At my university many members of the swim team and diving team (who happen to be some of my best friends) smoke constantly, including during practices and even during meets. Thing is, they are also very good, some of these potheads have speed records in certain events at various pools.

I am a lifeguard, and I have also noticed that a lot of lifeguards smoke. More than the general population. I also noticed that a lot of these lifeguards are good, responsible, and fit. I would never smoke on the job and in fact disapprove of it, but some of these guys do it all the time and are really good lifeguards (of course this is only at smaller pools, it would be homicidal to try to get away with this in open water of in more crowded pool areas where you have to constantly be scanning the water.)

Anyway, I recently started trying swimming high and found it to be mad fun! I'm a sprinter (freestyle) and usually hate long swims; I can barely swim 500 yards without getting tired and stopping. The 50 yard freestyle sprint is my event. But I found when I smoke I can go for up to 2 hours, losing track of distance and getting into a rhythm of swim, swim, flipturn, swim, swim flip, ect. Weed actually improves my ability to swim long distances.

For me this only really works with freestyle; the other strokes for me require more concentration and I can't really drift off, especially backstroke where I hit my head on the wall (:D ) but its still fun. My gym has a sauna too; I'll go swim for 90 minutes, come out, and sit in the sauna for a while. Who knew staying in shape could be so much fun!

Anyway, what are your experiences with this combination?
 
Its scary when you in the middle of a bay, drunk, baked, its at night and your all alone. I thought fish were going to eat me.
 
swimming high is fucking fun. i just hold my breath and go underwater for days and just chill as long as i can. swimming in the ocean while high is fun as FUCK as well. just going and getting tossed in the waves. although sometimes the paranoia sets in and im scared of getting chomped by a shark LOL.
 
i like using my gravity bong in a pool. just taking a massive hoot then diving under the water and coming out of the water just ripped as fuck. good times
 
theres a tree swing into a river near my house.
sometimes on hot days when my group has a session we go and hit the swing.
its probably the best activity ive done stoned.
swimming in pools and at the beach is mad fun.
but a tree swing just takes the cake.
 
i disagree, swimming high is the worst thing ever. i dunno, maybe its just because i'm on a high school swim team, but the constant cold water / exhaustion just kills my high, not to mention that 3 hour practices go by sooooooooo slow :(
 
^^ Really? Well, I wouldn't want to do it for an intense practice in cold water. But swimming recreationally while high is one of the great pleasures in life. It's also fun to take psychedelics and swim, especially in crystal-clear glacier lakes in the summer when they're nice and warm but still refreshing. Driving a powerboat or a jet ski is intense and so much fun in these states of mind. Tubing behind a fast boat and taking hard whips and waves is even more exhilarating. I enjoy 5-MeO-MiPT and weed for this activity the most, though, as the tryptamine helps to kill the pain and its particular trip is very courage promoting.

Man, now I can't wait for summer... :)
 
cant wait for new years.
im going to some place right on the beach for a week with my family, and my cousin who im pretty close to.
we're planning to toke up and go bodyboarding every day.
:D:D:D
 
Swimming high is some of my best memories, I'm pretty skinny though so I get cold real quick so it has to be a stinking hot day.

Back in high school there was a tree with a fat branch that went from one side of the river to the other, we'd smoke joints and then try to wrestle while balancing on the branch - wicked fun, I feel so old lol
 
I haven't done it much but the thought of it reminded me of the Morphine song-
"Like Swimming"- 1997

"I know the way to swim all the way downtown".

We're not talking competitive swimming here.

when i was 16 i snuck into this pool almost everynight and couldnt stop laughing everytime.swimming in the east ocean is fun to but exhausting cuz how windy and waves
 
I remember the first day I got my car, we got a sack of weed and went to these mountains that were an hour away. There was a spot where it had a pretty big cliff where you can jump into the water. The only thing that you had to make sure about was that you jumped out far enough because if you didn't, you would be taking a ugly fall to the rocks.

And we had been blazing a blunt and everyone was jumping in. I jumped in a few times, and then I got out to jump again. I remember stepping back to get a little bit of a running start and right before the edge, I sort of slipped and fell right off. I was so close to hitting those rocks it was unreal. One of my friends thought I did hit the rocks and was about to call 911. Scary experience lol

Anyways, swimming is awesome high, but I don't really like to go swimming in public places while I'm high. Because there is always someone there that is annoying as hell and wants to kill your high. But if I go to a friend's pool or on the lake, it's fun as hell.

Do you encoruage intoxicated driving as well? Swimming on weed, alright, but swimming on psychedelics at the very least requires a sober trip sitter. Driving a powerboat while intoxicated is a big no no, just as it is to drive a car while intoxicated. It's completely reckless and I discourage everyone to do it.
 
I used to be a lifeguard in several local pools around my area, worked myself up to district manager. I found it unbearable to get through the long day without smoking, so I'd often go smoke balls in the pumproom. I did this often, so often in fact I'd be high every day at work. Worked for me, no problem.
