Farting when swimming

Anyone else get this REAL bad? I just get it at one of the pools I swim at worse than any other. On Wed night, was doing a monster session, and like, every 50m I was blowing out. And I’m not talking about pansy squeakers here - full blown hearty jobbies that fill my shorts making them look like bloomers.

PS. I did not SHART

You’ve got jet propulsion. Does it make you go faster?

Sorry, farting is always funny!

well, my coach was particularly impressed by my efforts - so maybe it was helping. Beats a wetsuit!

Farting is funny, and should be endorsed by everyone. And yes, I know I should grow up, but I can’t seem to :wink:

I get this also, I think it’s the chlorine to tell you the truth, and also it only really works if you haven’t gone to the bathroom before practice. When you swallow some of the water, the chlorine does something weird in your stomach and shit, i dunno.

fart during a flip turn. for some reason i keeps from trapping air bubbles in your suit, though i can’t provide a scientific explanation. handy trick to know during college swim practices.

That would sound about right as this particular pool is more chlorine based than the other two.

But then don’t you look and sound like a whale surfacing for air?

So it was you with the big 300mm lense taking pictures of us swimming. Perve

it might be audible, depending on how busy the pool is. a flip turn makes a lot of noise in itself, so we never worried about it. now for it looking like a whale’s blowspout, i think it’s only a problem if a significant water was stored in your ass…which hopefully should not be the case, exception being if you did a cannonball off a diving platform tower (not that i’ve personally done this).

This is an exceptional plan. However, I did try to do the “farturn” method. But the problem was I was going so hard that half way down the lane, I couldn’t hold the gas.
Re the enema. When I was a kid, a mate of mine went down one of those big slide things into a lake in France. He left the end of the chute at 30mp/h and landed sat upright, legs wide open. I think he’s still farting out lake water even though it was 17 years ago…

No necessarily … I get wicked gas sometimes after swimming in the bay … of course that may be residual methane percolating up from the crab and clam sh!t on the bottom.

That familiar warmth!

LOL!..i roomed with a couple of guys on the diving team, who also worked doing high diving shows at six flags during the summer. they’d joke around every once in a while that on some shows (with not so good impacts) that they couldn’t bow at the end of the show…otherwise a gallon of water would flow out of their arse.

Now farting in your wetsuit is wrong. Especially if you are doing a long workout and then you come to unzip. Smells like something went off in there!

Watch out for those white colored trisuits, most have pee stains, yuk!

oh no! Death, that’s horrible.

Actually, lets expand this a little:

Running and farting:
Isn’t the rhythm of it just so much fun? Discus.

Cycling and farting:
This is wrong, esp. when drafting your mate.

Now I know why nobody could keep pace with you in the water in Brazil - you had the assistance of gas propulsion!. I was wondering why you had beans for breakfast everyday…I thought it was just a British thing.

I am now thankful for always being so far behind you that I didn’t get a sampling of your secret weapon.

Damn it, foiled. You now know why my wetsuit is custom made - so it has a blow hole in the crotch.

I hope the race officials don’t find out :wink:
