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?
She probably didn't want to get her hair wet. :thhbbb: :thhbbb: :thhbbb:
All right, you twits, I finally saw all those teases about the water slide. :thhbbb: :thhbbb: :thhbbb:
First off, I am old. I was saving my bad old self to swim on a 200+ year relay. I would note that Muppet and blue Muppet were quite anxious to run off and :drink:, so they skipped all the relays at the end of the meet. When I was all done swimming my old foggie relay, they were AWOL.
:dedhorse:
Second, I was trying to lie down and rest after some very taxing sprints and a 50 free that caused me to break a finger. Not a fingernail, mind you. Those were pre-masters things I used to have. Along with a more comely back.
Third, my hair is almost always wet and chlorine damaged. And I seem to spend most of my time in gym clothes and swim suits. (But, unlike some here, at least I am not contributing to the pajamafication of America. :thhbbb: )
Fourth, it is quite refreshing to see that SS has finally met his match. :joker:
Finally, I have a boatload of kids and have spent my life doing cannonballs in the pool and checking out hot guys. Back to nookie ...
