Swimming with the SHARKS!

It’s interesting, but every time I’ve gone for a dip in the ocean, the women with me at the time were all SCARED of the water.

Big time!

These same ladies of course loved the pool, and would do laps galore in it on occasion with me.

And I don’t blame them if you look at it!

It’s one thing to TALK about doing it. It’s quite another to GET in the ocean and actually feel the current tugging at you, and the sheer POWER of the water that bests anything man could ever produce!

I lived in Oman for a brief while, and while I didnt like the place a lot (I’m not an Arabian Nights guy, hehe – I’d rather Xinjiang in China minus all their atrocities of course – but really, I love TRUE Xinjiang culture that the PRC is doing all it can to repress right about now) … I remember the ocean.

And it was rough. Big time!

Move aside calm seas and crystal clear water. The beach we went to had ROARING waves, and even yours truly, a strong swimmer by nature didnt really venture out into the deeps (I’ve done that quite often back in the Pacific in the US, but thats a different thing!).

There was this one guy I remember who just RAN out into the water once during a storm.

We were like, WTF.

But a short while later, there he was, head bobbing up and down, swimming strongly in that massive swirl of water, and then he swam back to shore.

Probably his version of a strongman shower.

Matty Hayden ‘Big Matt the BAT’ and another equally imposing character Andrew “Roy” Symonds were once fishing in Australia when their boat capsized, and they had to swim back more than a mile or so in shark infested waters!

True, sharks dont attack humans by nature.

But still, the “deep Blue Sea” series evokes fear anyway! Hehe.

And anyway, it’s a great workout. Take less than a minute, and all the strokes you learned in the pool go straight out of the window my friend when there is no line to stare at under the water, and when you can barely keep your head down under it anyway.

I used to NOT like the fact I was raised to swim breast stroke with “head out” (an insanely tough workout by the way for the chest and traps, but not the most ergonomic position!) … but in the ocean many times, that sort of swimming is what can save your life.

If you’re ever in that situation, that is.

And most of you might not be.

But picture this.

You’re on the second floor of a building. That has just caught fire.

There’s a lady and a kid to rescue. Take to safety.

Fire trucks are a while away, and the fire BE blazing.

What do you do?

Well, if you’re Sig Klein (old time strongman), you hold on to the pipe by the side of the window and climb down it calmly!

… with lady in tow in the other hand!

True story.

And as I keep saying, and a lot of my customers say.
