I grew up swimming almost everyday of my life.  No I never took lessons, but I can swim okay.  I went cliff jumping with some friends today.  This is really one of my favorite activities.  I love it.  Then there arose the suggestion to swim to the other side of the reservoir.  
Now I am in Idaho for the week.  The water here is not exactly as warm as Arizona.  I am also in less than good shape.  I might have a little muscle tone, but as far as aerobic exercise goes I fall short.
You put these things together, along with my mediocre swimming ability, and that is one very tough half mile to swim.  Well, I didn't drown.  I did however puke my guts out when I got to the other side.  And then lay on the rocks for twenty minutes before I trusted myself to walk back to the other side.  It's funny that this morning the cliff was what I was worried about.
