I normally enjoy floating in the pool any chance I get. floating around and soaking up the sunshine. Nothing beats it. Unless you get so sunburned that you look like a piece of toast that was stuck in the toaster for an hour and a half. Although I enjoy laying around all day on a pool flotation device, sitting in a white water raft was equally enjoyable.
It was a few years ago for my buddies bachelor party, we went white water rafting In Ohio Pyle area. I think it was a category 3 rapids, so nothing too crazy. We set out early in the morning, and came back in the evening. Every second in between was an experience. We had heart pounding turns and insane rapids and then some laid back chill vibes down the river. I’m not the best swimmer and that made me nervous to try rafting. The week prior I was overthinking and worrying about falling in and dying. But the end of the day I was so full of energy and excitement that I never even had time to think about falling in and dying. awesome. It was very cool being part of a team and paddle through the rapids.
I do enjoy the laid back style of pool swimming and rafting, but this experience of white water rafting will last me a lifetime. I think it’s always good to put yourself into new experiences and grow from it. Who cares if you fall out of the raft, ( I didn’t luckily) just get back in and keep paddling. I think that’s good mantra to have moving forward. No matter what life throws at you or new experiences that come along always keep paddling forward.
