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 look for jewelry on the bottom. Last year I retrieved at least 15 pieces. They all were junk jewelry except 1 piece was a very small piece of antique silver with a small diamond in it. It all goes to the Lost and Found.
Since I am in training to be a dirty old man, when I give a found piece to one of the female lifeguards, I usually say something like "Tell your boyfriend that older men are giving you jewelry and perhaps he'll cough up something nice for your birthday, like an engagement ring." That usually gets me a big smile and a "isn't he the sweetest old guy" look.
