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?
:drink: Cheers Michael Phelps, if you ever visit this forum. Enjoy your hard earned success for a moment.
Signatures are an individual thing. Aside from a slightly controversial isp mirror, I think they are generally not considered to be objectionable, not commented upon, and can reflect anything one happens to be thinking about at the moment, e.g., cooking or grilling. They are generally not particularly open to random NSR Einstein criticism. There is no smilie rule limit. You don't have to like them. Many don't use them. If you don't like them, don't. Otherwise, take it up on the "you are the dictator" thread where your opinion on rule changes is encouraged. Sheesh.
