Swimming with a Nuclear Bomb

I swim. A lot. I have been on 6 different teams. I have been swimming for 10 years. I have been doing 4 swim teams per year of a couple of years. As I said, I swim a lot.

Unfortunately, I have not swam in a year. *dies from shock* This was because I was supposed to be moving. (I will write a blog about this later to explain the very long story) My dad told me and my sister that we could do swim team this summer. *jumps/squeals in joy*

My sister and I were some of the best people on the team. All of the good people left the team (graduating etc.). Our team now sucks. Apparently, another team suggested that my town quits competing against everyone else because we are so bad....The school had an announcement to get people to join. They are so desperate for members, they will accept anyone who can swim a lap and not drown. You don't even have to be able to swim.

In heritage, we are studying the Cold war and nuclear bombs (I know understand nuclear fission and fusion). If Russia would bomb the US, they would bomb Omaha, Nebraska. This is the location of the main office for the nuclear bomb in the US. I live a mere 60 miles from Omaha. My teacher told the class that if Omaha was bombed, everyone in my town would all die...very comforting...not.

On that happy note (sarcasm hand raised) I say "Au revoir. Je m'en vais."

  1. Wow, why did your teacher say that? Why Omaha?

    I swim like a fish, but I hate swim team. Tried it when I was younger, and I got tired and hungry so easily, I had to bring food and put it on the side of the pool, so I didn't pass out from exhaustion. Plus, I got cold easily since I had no insulation whatsoever(aka fat). :D So I went for skating instead.

  2. @feathers omaha is the control center for our nuclear bombs. i forgot the name of the place....but if russia were to bomb the US, that's where they'd pick...

    he was telling us about the severity of a nuclear bomb. he wanted to give us an idea of what could happen..

    i wonder if my coaches would let me bring food to the pool...

  3. If you can swim one length of the swimming pool-any stroke-including dog paddle-we need you on the Denison Summer Swim Team!!

    that is the exact wording they used in the announcement...
