Top 10 reasons I find swimming pools aren't as fun as they used to be ...
1. No low diving boards
2. No high diving boards
3. No tall slides with long vertical exit drops
4. No starting blocks
5. No chicken fights
6. No pushing unsuspecting friends into the pool (we at least used to get away with it)
7. No diving
8. No night swims
9. No flexibility in the rules
10. Kids must get out of the water every 50 minutes to watch old people stand in the water and talk to each other.
Feel free to add your own.
I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.
