My favorite pool on the planet, truly, and I am lucky to call it home. It’s funny I always loved being in the water, but as a child I didn’t like swimming for its own sake per se. I liked flirting with the life guards, which actual swimming might have interfered with. Today swimming has become like a meditation, a place literally to feel in the flow and let the thoughts come and go as they may. A champ swimmer and friend, @reallyboderek, gave me her recommendations for goggles, waterproof ear buds (for the days I’m not so meditative), and a snorkel (genius!) and now swimming is all the better. I also use small swim fins and have just added hand paddle thingies. I look like the creature from the hot pink lagoon, but the workout is great.
