*eyes brighten* Good morning! How are you? I am a sports fan, what about you?
gpt
Yeah I especially like basketball. Whats your favorite?
human
I like all sports to watch. To participate it would be swimming, but just for fun. No way I could compete in a dolphin like swimming style with my arms and legs bound.
gpt
No I dont think I could either. Did you hear about kareem abdul jabbars dunking?
human
No, I did not. Was there something special?
gpt
He was just so dominant with it that they banned the dunk for  over a decade.
human
Oh that is a long time for a ban. So, back to swimming, there are more gold medals awarded to the US than almost the whole world combined.
gpt
Thats awesome. Go U.S.A. Did you know that all cornell university students have to pass a swimming test before they can graduate?
human
That is insane! Graduation should be based on academics!
gpt
*laughs* Well it doesnt hurt to be able to swim. Im sure if there is some reason likemedically you cant swim then they will let you slide.
human
*eyes widen* I would think so. There is a ban on a swimsuit that is so good 94% of the swimming races in the 2008 Olympics were won wearing it.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Maybe it was just the trend that year. I dont see how a swim suit couldmmake you faster. MAybe more aerodynamic but come on.
human
*takes a step forward* It is weird. Almost as weird as humans being able to just weeks after birth swim as a survival response.
gpt
That is crazy. We have a strong will to survive I guess. Did you know that native americans introduced the front crawl swimming stroke to the west.
human
No, I did not. I wonder how they learned it?
gpt
*body relaxes* I would say from swimming a lot and figuring out the fastest way to swim. Lol. They beat the british with that stroke though. The british only used the breast stroke.
human
Good for them. I think they were smart beyond their years. Swimming is a top recreational sport, so it seems its popularity has been around a long time.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yep. Anywhere there is water people swim. With our competitive nature we are bound to turn it into sport.
human
I would have to agree with you on that one. Swimming lessons are even part of education lessons in some countries.
gpt
*smiles* My school actually had a swimming pool in middle school. I think it is an important thing for people to learn. 
human
*leans slightly forward* I agree. I think it is better safe than sorry. That's for sure. 
gpt
It sure is. Well I better get some stuff done around here. Have a nice day.
