the lifeguard encouraged me to water aerobics yesterday

"I can get you a noodle if you would like to try the water aerobics class...they wouldn't mind a latecomer.", said the lifeguard...I almost collapsed at the proposition, and gently responded, "ME in WATER AEROBICS! Are you NUTS?!"
As I swam past the class--several of them were actually just floating there...literally dangling in the water. Then others were totally busting their butts, really working it to "What's love got to do it?" by Tina Turner. It was great.
Immediately I thought of all of you--especailly the opposing viewpoints of Shaky and Laineybug...(the very question might have been the final breaking point for Shaky at his pool, whereas Laineybug, on a special kind of day, might have considered the invitation).
Nonetheless...it was hysterically funny to me--and only all of you would appreciate why.
Have a great swim!!

Where do you find the noodle class? When I was 42 and in WSI class we (and all those 17 yr old classmates) had to attend a senior citizen water aerobics class. They spent at least 15 minutes with their arms out of the water doing gyrations holding milk jugs half full of water after that spent a few minutes in the deeper end doing "wallies"--at least 10 consecutive of them. For those who doen't know what wallies are--they are done at the wall in water where you cannot touch and you boost yourself out of the pool using your arms. The fun part was part of the cool down--they all got into a circle and walked around until the water was swirling like and eddy then abruptly turned around and walked against the current. Even the 17 year old high school swimmers were exhausted at the end of that hour class.
