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?

Today at the noon masters practice I got to watch some really hot, toned football players do water ballet for an hour. It was incredible to watch. I really got a kick out of it. Everyone was totally SERIOUS. The wall and edge served as the barre, toes were pointed, legs were in unison, arms were held above their heads. All that was missing was the classical music and tutus. AWESOME!!
What is funny about ballet? :dunno:
Many pros cross train with ballet too...just not the Jeremy Shockey types...
