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 think Einstein's jolly assumption that genius had limits is depressing. I've seen that quote 1x10^6 times. Makes you think everything worth inventing has already been invented, and every good song has been written. That makes it completely useless to try anything new, least of all in swimming. Maybe I'm a bit sensitive? It's only words, after all.
