Things to do in the water other than "just swim laps"

Here are some things I'm particularly enjoying: -- doing a deep dive off the board, trying to touch then bottom, and then dolphin kicking back to the surface -- doing a bunch of flip turns in a row "on the spot" in the water, rather than off the wall -- anything involving attempting to recover an object (e.g. brick) -- anything involving a pole What are your little quirky things? Or is everyone here so busy training that no one has any fun in the water? Does tugging on the lane line during backstroke count? I like to dive down underwater right when I am entering the deep end and then kicking off of the sloped bottom and streamlining the rest of the way to the wall then flipturning ....and then its rinse and repeat each lap.....that is when there's no coach around LOL!
