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.
