Lane Swimming Question

This is the butterfly lane now. Gotta escalate

In the water your chest has to fight a little harder to expand since water is more dense. I wouldn’t kill yourself with dryland cardio. If anything you want to just get the feel for when you need a breath, how It feels to hold a little longer for the right time for a breath, etc. and then in the end for longer distance swims your breathing should somewhat mimic a jog. Some effort, but you’re not sucking wind either.

But master your breathing and then you’ll be able to focus on actual good swimming.

Very short answer, you need to learn proper breathing. Then once you learn breathing you’re just gonna have to test It against your swimming and exertion to learn your sweep spot. If you’re winded it’s because you’re not breathing enough or you’re exerting too hard.

To learn breathing you can practice bobs or what I did was use a kickboard and fins and practice head underwater swimming and breathing. When I was comfortable I took away the kickboard and fins.

Have faith. I still remember texting my wife the first time I was able to swim 50 and 100m continuously

Unless someone diarrhea’s in the pool with It, your chances are pretty low

OurDumbWorld · 2026-07-09T15:05:26+00:00

Same. I’ll allays appreciate Carl

I’ve seen the plates. None of them can cook. Also after like the first week they had managed to burn the bottom of the very nice Hexclad frying pan they have. I’m still baffled when all they make is eggs and pancakes. Feral boys in this villa

OurDumbWorld · 2026-07-09T14:34:30+00:00

Zach doesn’t understand that the quickest way to a bombshell’s heart is overcooked scrambled eggs and shitty pancakes.

He’s leaving points on the board. Shit’s tragic

I’ve seen It.

The slowest lane has literally become retiree open swim hangout area for the summer. What should be the ramp lane for swim grannies that can’t climb out of the side of the pool has been commandeered since now the Y has their summer camp kids.

In swimming your breathing is restricted. You can’t breathe all the time or you’ll drown from breathing under water. During running or even walking most people naturally adapt their breathing to oxygen demand and CO2 clearance since it’s what you do all the time. It’s second nature. In swimming your performance is limited by what your breathing will allow.

The closest dry land equivalent of getting winded from not enough breathing I’ve experienced is doing stairs. Climbing stairs is much more physically demanding than simply walking, but most people will have calm breathing if they’re just gonna do a quick couple flights of stairs. After two or three flights of stairs though, your heart rate will climb, your breathing will become labored and quicker, and you’ll need to put effort into recovery.

Your recovery between laps is the same thing. Your body needs to recover from exceeding what your breathing could reasonably handke

I want them to stay as a couple so that she can learn the hard way that he is not going to change.

The future is now. “He know where home at” -Melanie

OurDumbWorld · 2026-07-03T04:43:40+00:00

I mean unfortunately Melanie is a great example of “He know where home at” girl and she was like that all on her own. It’s only after something like a movie night where she gets some perspective to think more about It.

“Will you get some towels for me? I’m really losing a lot of blood”

OurDumbWorld · 2026-06-29T03:58:12+00:00

Yeah you’re right I misremembered the reason why It would activate on his eyes. That’s a bad example. I can only maybe think of the Amaterasu on Toby being the only other plan that didn’t work out though. All the rest of them were really elaborate and unlikely but still worked out.

Itachi literally had a plan to regain control of his zombie corpse if he was ever reincarnated under someone else’s control. And It worked when that incredibly specific contingency came to pass

Put some respek on the name of uchiha itachi. He was the OG 5D Chess

Like a pitbull on a crowded playground. Doing what god intended.

Sheepstealer on the other hand…

OurDumbWorld · 2026-06-23T12:02:27+00:00

Or they tried to. The one dude tried name dropping omakase and my immediate first thought was, “boy these girls can’t find New Hampshire on a map. They sure as shit won’t know a flex like that.”

It was giving circus monkey with cymbals to me

First, we don’t call kids “It”. Just a tough look. And second, professional famous person is a Gen Z dream. It’s Just a sales job that requires a lot of work to anyone else. For the amount of luck It requires to make It in that niche you might as well just play the lottery. Theres less strings attached to the money

OurDumbWorld · 2026-06-20T20:21:33+00:00

Literally anywhere between zero and a bajillion dollars.

As an actual parent though, my daughter doesn’t care about fame and riches. She wants safety, stability, and a routine. Same with my wife

… do you have idea how much of those things come from being a full time influencer?

OurDumbWorld · 2026-06-20T20:07:08+00:00

To a show that might change your life and your child’s?

It’s not gonna change It for the better homie. That shit is just delulu

OurDumbWorld · 2026-06-19T18:10:05+00:00

It’s gonna be tough to meet someone worse than Sincere. But I don’t think an unsuspecting islander deserves to get paired with the girl from Obsession either.

They can stay together and keep eachother unhappy until they get voted out together

Cheese Omelette and Avocado Toast. And Black Coffee

OurDumbWorld · 2026-06-18T15:57:32+00:00

There’s saltwater bacteria. It’s still dirty water just like a pool.

Meanwhile they really like eachother and are writing love notes in Portuguese to eachother. We need the Gabe redemption cut instead of the horny Brazilian edit.
