Status: Connected to guide: JoshuaL
JoshuaL: Welcome to ChaCha!
You: hello
JoshuaL: How are you?
You: I'm fine, thanks!
You: Can you help me with my question?
JoshuaL: Great! Glad to hear it.
JoshuaL: Definately, let me see what I can come up with.
JoshuaL: Thanks for being patient, I'm trying my best.
JoshuaL: Are you a swimmer?
You: An average swimmer
You: but strong flows can be dangerous
JoshuaL: I was never very good at swimming.
You: I hope I don't bring back bad memories
JoshuaL: LOL no, nothing like that. I'd just never be able to compete, you know?
You: Oh, me neither
You: but this thing is more about endurance and tricks, I think
JoshuaL: I can't really find anything about your specific query. . . but I did find this.
JoshuaL: If that doesn't help, I'll try and find some more.
JoshuaL: I'm surprised it was so hard to find that, you'd think there would be something about how to swim in strong currents for survival purposes You: I think that'll do
You: Thanks a lot Joshua!
JoshuaL: My pleasure!
You: Yup
JoshuaL: Glad I could help you today.
JoshuaL: Anything else before I go?
You: Yes
You: thanks again
