I've contended in prior posts that the sissification of swimming pools has led to a less enjoyable swimming experience. Lack of diving boards, shallow pools, etc. are just a few of my gripes. Here's photographic proof of the fun they had in the days of your great grandparents. Enjoy!
PS On the other hand, modernity has given us less horse-manure in our swimming water!
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.

Going to the Beach? Be Sure to Bring Along Bob
If you are like me you like everything that keeps you around the water. Have you ever dreamed of having your own submarine? I sure have, but lets get real, I'm not a super rich Bill Gates or any of his ilk, but I still have my dreams and I'm willing to settle. Introducing BOB, a personal underwater scooter - sort of a combination of a Segway, diving gear and scooter. The concept is simple enough that it looks like anyone who wants to shell out a few clams on vacation can experience this. Gotta love the ingenuity. Check out the link.
