Sui
Lots of swimming as of late. I've been in and out of the water a lot lately. Mostly for fun but every time I end up swimming I make sure to practice some suijutsu. Either for stealth or awareness, working on two warrior techniques in addition to regular swimming (freestyle, breast stroke, side stroke etc...). One is a shinobi/stealth swimming method similar to the breast stroke with the top of the head above the water, another is an awareness technique similar to freestyle with the head out of the water, it was used to move around quickly and efficiently around an aquatic combat area. Might train parkour with the either UVPK or another group.

White Water Rafting
About two days ago I went white water rafting with a group of people I didn't know plus Crisis and a non-ninja friend. Was a ton of fun, not the most ninja thing ever but I learned some anyway. I feel more comfortable in small boats in terms of steering and general maneuvering even when the water is shallow and rocky.
I learned how to deal with falling into rapids, here's how it's done: as soon as you fall in get on your back and float down feet first with the legs slightly bend to absorb any shock from rocks. Also it's important to be aware of currents, deeper water supposedly has strong current in rivers.
Overall a great time and a bit of a learning experience on the side.
