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?

- Drills
- I go to the deep end which is almost 6 feet and jump and down. I try to launch myself as high in the air as I can get. Repeat until tired. :bouncing:
- Do back dolphins on the surface with fins leading to the occassional back flip.
- Swim the length of the pool underwater
- Stretch. Stretch legs by holding the edge of the pool.
- Do dips in the corner. Make sure not to slip and crack your teeth on the tile.
