I really want to like to swim and I love some things about it, like the ability to not sink when thrown in deep water. But so many things about it kill me. Like, why can't I just sit in the water, and float to the top? Who thinks that drowning by default is a good idea? Also, why do I have to have a special way to move my hands and legs? Having to coordinate my limbs just seems so complex and unintuitive. And why can I not see anything underwater? The frustration is that probably there are fixes for all these things, which if I were an expert swimmer I would know. But meanwhile I can use an ordinary kayak and I don't have to learn anything new.

I mean, these are all valid criticisms of the swimming experience, it just sounds silly because you can't edit swimming.
