I was thinking about the "pet peeves" thread. Seems that we should have a thread that is the opposite. Things we love about swimming. (Or is there one already that I missed?)
I love swimming in the pool when it's raining.
I love seeing pelicans fly over when I am swimming in San Francisco Bay. They are very, very large when they are right above your head. I also used to love seeing fish in Barton Springs pool in Austin in the early morning. I never saw them if I went after the sun was fully up.
I love the community ritual that is swim practice. I see the same people at the same time on the same days to do a very organized activity, all together, for no other basic reason except that they want to.
