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

I swim at a 24hr Fitness lap pool. My quirks are other people who do anything other then lap swimming (or even walking, just so long as they go back and fourth length wise and give way if sharing lanes) in the lap pool. When they do, they usually ruin it for anyone trying to lap swim. For other forms of water recreation, I go to the beach.
