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?

#1 I liked the first few times, but many of these stationaries are pointless, and hardly any of us understand what Einstein was really going on about in his professional career.
#2 Maybe a limit of 1 (one) smilie per message would force people to think first. There's a limit of 10 (ten) right now.
#3 Posts in a thread should have something to do with the first post or at least with swimming. There's always the alternative of starting a new thread if you have something interesting to say?

Not sure exactly what you're talking about there? The Einstein quote is part of my signature....its not a posting??....and my last posting (posting #29) was a direct response to your posting (posting #26)...where You posted a comment specifically about my signature and nothing else....So how does point #3 you make above apply to me?...It seems more logical that your 3rd point applies to you? I'm sorry if I upset you in some way by having that Einstein quote as part of my signature.....Why should I start a separate thread about it though? Are you saying that posting #29 was out of line in some way? How could responding directly to your comments be out of line or hijacking? I don't even know you but I suspect you're most likely a regular here who took on an alias to directly attack me (ALA posting #26)....Your comments basically make no sense IMO?
