The last couple mornings at my gym, there's been a very old woman there water-walking. She's hunched over and seems very limited in her movement, so water-walking is no doubt a good thing for her to be doing each day. So I have no issue there... except for some reason she wears a cap and goggles. This morning it occurred to me, what are the cap and goggles for? You don't need them for water-walking, right? But then a few minutes later she went one better than that. Waaaayyyy better: she added a snorkel. Dry-headed water-walking with a snorkel... I had never seen that before, until today!
later she did some real swimming with the snorkel, but for a while there it was "wow, just wow"
