I notice that lots of people here, me included, tick the box on their profiles to say they like pool wrestling but I do wonder if all that many of them have ever actually tried it. I suspect not since for most of us it's not easy to share a pool with another guy into wrestling. But I did actually did do that just once and found it lots of fun.

I contacted this guy through meetfighters and he told me that he was going to a party with gay friends. I said it sounded interesting and he checked with the host that it would be ok for me to come along. It was a big house with a private indoor swimming pool, the owner was a builder and had buit it all. Most of the others at the party were not all that interested in the pool, they seemed more interested in eating cakes then other activities that were starting to happen in various parts of the house. Since I had met this guy through meetfighters I knew that he was into wrestling and sugested we try pool wrestling. We wrestled naked in the deep end of the pool where we could hardly touch the bottom with our feet. I am not an expert swimmer, indeed to my shame I have never even learnt to swim crawl. However, I am happy to be in the water and dont mind my head going under. I enjoyed diving down and attacking his lower body, then lifting him half out before dropping him back and pushing his head briefly down for a submission. He was less confident about the water than me, so I was careful not to overdo things. I have to say that when we wrestled on dry land it has been the other way round since he is a body builder and is stronger than me.

That was in quite deep water and was my only experience of pool wrestling to date. I guess you could also wrestle in shallow water which I guess would be a different experience. Probably much more like wresting on mats, but with the possiblity to get a submission by holding the other guys head under, you would probably need less than a foot of water for that to be possible, maybe just a few inches. Of course, for safety you would need to release him pretty quick, not necessarily wait for him to tap because he might not be able to. But you need to be careful about that with any submission wrestling.
