Skinny dipping? Well I used to be a member of an exclusive coed & covert skinny-dipping Club at the local country clubs pool, in high school.
The Polar Bear Club ! Other shenanigans included night golf.
So today I'm cutting grass in 90 degree weather in full sun. I'm hot and sweaty and I haven't finished the first of three lawns. But there were four little kids playing in a baby pool a few doors down. Having an absolute blast. I really wanted to jump in that thing and roll around like a seal in the zoo.
And I have to tell you those baby pools they're making these days are pretty sophisticated. This was an inflatable pool with a little basketball hoop and a pirate themed slide.
But yup, swimming is great exercise. Playing basketball or volleyball in a pool is a lot of fun. Otherwise , just going for a nice long jog in the water is good to.
Oceans, Great Lakes, normal lakes, Mississippi River, Mom's pond..... - I never pass up an opportunity to go for a swim. Mom's pond was an accidental swim.
What else is pretty cool is being able to swim in the winter time. I was a member of a health club that had a pool and I would do all my cardio work in there.
