To those worried about swimming.

Stop worrying! Seriously though, I just got off of the Colorado river, did a bunch of jumping off of the boat to go for a swim, I even jumped off about a 50 foot drop. I got kicked into some rapids and went for a wild swim there, battled with dogs and oars the whole time. I feel my hair is actually doing better after all of this, it seemed crazy at first, and that they were coming loose, but just days after they are getting gnarly again!So my point is, just forget about all your worries and enjoy yourself. The crazy unique, twisted and gnarled dreads you have always dreamed of will come true eventually.Oh yeah, and go swimming in a river!
