Now I want to see someone swimming with a cone of ice cream in each hand.

You want me to wear my swim trunks or get a bikini.. Warning before your answer: only one body type has the bouyancy to pull it off.

As an Aussie, I don't see why that is unusual. You use your feet. But if it's only two icecreams, then you hold them both in one hand and swim with the other one. All I can say about this one though is that this is a very flat beach: Waves would ruin the icecream pretty bloody fast. Must be a river or something.

Do people not swim with icecreams in other countries?

Never heard of anyone doing it no, so probably not? 🤷

Huh. Stuff I never expected to be unique to Oz.

Swimming with something that can't get wet is not unheard of here. I sometimes swim a book over to somewhere to read, or a phone to a good place for a photo too.

See, that IS completely unheard of here! If it's not supposed to be wet, we wouldn't dream of swimming with it!

I don't know if it's because you guys are born excellent swimmers like Norwegians are with skiing, but I don't know ANYONE who wouldn't assume that swimming with something invariably means getting it wet 😄
