[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I encourage people to swim because I love the water and find a lot of pleasure in swimming.  I want people I care about to know that feeling of coolness and freedom.  It's the only exercise I really like, mainly because I don't have to sweat during it!  So I may say, come on in!  It feels great!  But after that I don't bug them about it if they refuse.[/quote]

People probably find you incredibly annoying. Adults don't need you tell them to "come in, it feels great!"[/quote]

Swim Recruiter Poster is not going to believe that anyone could have a different experience than she does. All those "I" statements about why she likes swimming, then the jump to the conclusion that because she likes it, everyone will (you know, if they just try it, because it's safe to assume that they've never been in a pool before).

OP, does your family expect you to come along? Maybe your ILs don't like chatting with you, and you could just stay behind: "I don't feel like swimming, so I'm going stay here and read/start dinner/take a nap."[/quote]

Interesting that swim recruiter doesn't like any other exercise. Wonder how she would feel getting dragged along on a half marathon? [/quote]
