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?
Summertime fun:
Butt bumpers, pier tag, anything involving the diving board, pretending to be synchro swimmers (ever see that old SNL skit?), see how many fwd/bkwd somersaults you can do in a row without air, see how many bkwd layout flips you can do in a row with air (breathing each time your face comes around), otter rolls, pier sprints, alligator walks in the shallow water. I could go on...
(Oh, and I love underwater tea parties, too! Can't wait till my daughter is old enough for this!)
The outdoor pool opens in 46 days, 20 hours, and 37 minutes! WOOHOOO!!!
