Swimming competition

I know there’s a lot of noise about competitive swimming right now.
I don’t swim. Competitively or recreationally.
And I’ve never been in a situation that the gym teachers warned me about.
Falling off of a boat?
I hate boats.
If there’s racing, I’d think you would want to outrace a shark.
Or outrace others also fleeing that shark.
As for the rest, I really don’t know.
I think a lot of people don’t know.
But they feel compelled to say something.
I suppose this is saying something.
Irrelevant, sure. Which is what a lot of what people say is.
