swimming quotes

If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean
and
told the nearest land was a thousand miles away,
I'd still swim.
And I'd despise the one who gave up.

~Abraham Maslow

I simply can't understand
Why swimsuits are in such demand
They're soggy and damp,
Bind like a clamp,
And hold about three pounds of sand!

~D.R. Benson
