'Fly, if I wasn't so dead-set on getting as much of my workout in as possible before 9AM (when I get kicked out of lap swimming), I would savor the sounds of the noodlers whining, "Ohhhhh, it's tooooo coooooold!" :bolt:
As it is, I time it so I hit the wall at the stroke of 9AM! Then, I get out, rinse my stuff off under the shower, then hop in with the noodlers to get some extra water time. It's fun doing everything at triple speed (at least!) while they stand there and talk with each other and pretend to do what the lady on the cd tells them to do.
I actually get a decent workout in while the ladies float around like whales. My favorite one is jogging in place as fast as I can and doing breaststroke with my arms at hyper speed. I get it going so fast it looks like the water is boiling. :D Then, I just love it when the lady on the cd says to go to the side of the pool and do flutter kicks "as fast as you can". :D
