i've got in basic terms swam interior the Gulf of Mexico at the same time as i grew to become into in Gulfport, MS and the water grew to become into kinda grimy and muddy. i did not like that...yet i could nonetheless choose that over a super ocean such simply by fact the Atlantic or Pacific! i'm not a solid swimmer.
