Today, I learned a valuable lesson: Make sure you learn to swim at a very young age, or else you might end up a in a swimming class with a bunch 3 and 4 year-olds, taught by your crush. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML
Today, I was teaching swim lessons. I got felt up by a 6 year-old boy. Three times. FML
Today, my dad taught me how to swim. I had to keep doing a lot of strange movements to keep my body floating. While doing that, two 8-year-old girls came and asked me if i needed help getting out of the water. I'm a 20 year old guy. FML
Today, my mom signed me up for a swimming class to show my sister there's nothing to be afraid of. Considering I'm 17, I assumed I'd be in an advanced class. Instead, I get to spend summer blowing bubbles in the shallow end with four-year-olds as my little sister cheers me on from the steps. FML
Today, I got a concussion while teaching a kid how to be a safe and cautious swimmer. FML
Today, I was at a friend's pool party. He lives on a lake and one of our friends wouldn't get in the water. My best friend and I decided to push him off the dock. Once we had, I turned to see my crush who had watched looked shocked, then said, "You know he can't swim right?" FML
Today, I got chewed out by a parent for putting her kid underwater. I teach swim lessons. FML
Today, while teaching swimming to a bunch of five year-olds, one particularly bratty girl decided she didn't want to swim and led the entire class to strike, leaving the pool empty, and me without a job. Apparently I was teaching the next world tyrant to swim. FML
Today, I joined my crush for their workout class. I didn’t realize it was an advanced class. Ten minutes in, I was gasping for air, bright red, and drenched in sweat. The instructor had to stop and ask if I needed a paramedic. My crush offered me a cup of water along with a look of deep concern. FML
Today, I took my 4-year-old daughter to the local pool for swim lessons. As we walked onto the deck she turned to me and said "Mom, that lady has really big boobs!" The whole pool heard, even the man my daughter was referring to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Any time I see the word "crush" I hit YDI. Can't help it but if you're still using that term to identify the person you like then maybe you're just a tad immature. Or maybe I just really hate the term "crush", I don't know.

I too dislike that word with a passion, and feel compelled to make you one of my favorite FML'ers. I also love Natasha Allegri and think your picture is totally, algebraicly, righteous in the most finntastic way, just saying. *pribubs&marcy =D*

You're doing it right bro!

considering you are a man, I will assume this is a girl that is teaching your swimming class, (But I don't judge! c: ). My advice to you is to use this time to get closer to her. You can never go Wright just trying to become closer friends with someone. Maybe you could even have private lessons afterwards.. -Coughcoughwink-

You could never go wrong * So sorry!

I don't think HE would make a convincing aunt, but it really is a briliant idea.

Tht happened to me too except the instructor was gay and the kids were 6 or 7 and i was 14
kurololita 6
I got confused, your profile says that you are male but the way you wrote that he was gay (gay being a masculine word therefore "he") made it sound like an obstacle. if all presented information is so, then wouldnt it be in your favor? please point out where the flaw lies in all of this. im sure im giving myself a migrane over nothing.
