Big Swimming Smile
Nose is the swim board.
Mouth is the swim noodle.
That's a really great big swim smile!

Action Sports Adventure
Biking and kayaking.
Along with mountain hiking.
Wonderful adventure pastimes.
Nothing like being in and enjoying nature and activity. ;-)

Fun and Good Exercise
Also, I understand you can get some pretty good exercise paddleboarding.
My only concern would be sharks.
Don't bright colors and strong motion attract them?
You've got to be brave, but not stupid. ;-)

Stretching Cat
The cat extended its paws and started to stretch.
Reminded me of fitness guru, Richard Simmons, but with a far better hairdo! ;-)

I'm Sure You Did
I am about to get into the swimming pool.
A water aerobics class is letting out and a bunch of older ladies are on the way out of the water.
One of them stops, give me a big smirk, and says:
"Don't worry we warmed it up for you!"
I thought for quick second, and said with a completely straight face:
"I'm sure you did!"
The joys of swimming life. ;-)

Parachute Running
Sprinting with a parachute on for added resistance.
Add in the hot, humid, summer sun burning down.
And you have yourself a decent exercise routine going on.
Hurry up and slow down.
You run yes, but the parachute says no.
Go! go!! go!!!
You're almost over the finish line. ;-)

Never Too Young To Train
The little boy holding his mom's hand and running around the track.
While many kids would cry and resist the exercise, this kid actually ran after his mom to go with her.
It was nice to see!
Never too young to train!
This is how excellence is born. ;-)

Trying To Maintain Normality
People are trying to get out of the house for just a little bit each day amidst the mandated social distancing.
Especially difficult is to try to get some exercise with all the fitness centers, gyms, and pools closed down.
Some people are just choosing to go for a walk around the track or get in a quick workout with a few friends or family members.
Can we be normal when everything is abnormal? ;-)

Salad and Falafel
This was delicious salad and falafel with Tzatziki sauce and Italian dressing.
It was so fresh and good.
Honestly, I wanted to eat more of this.
Who needs all the junk foods.
This looks good, tastes good, and is good for you! ;-)

Lifeguard Needs A Lifeguard
The guards are required to renew their lifeguard certification every two years.
When I asked if he swims, he said "not regularly" and then when I asked if he exercises, he said half-jokingly: "I sleep, eat, and drink!"
But then he told me about the lifeguard exam and a couple of people who should've never been taking the test.
One lady gets waist deep into the pool, and the proctor tells the lady to swim to the other side of the pool and back. Instead of swimming, she starts crying hysterically that she doesn't know how to swim!
Another guy was swimming funny with his arms flailing and his butt out of the water. When the proctor asked him what was up with that and to show him what was hiding under his trunks, the guy showed him that he was wearing an inflatable plastic band under his pants.
Fail, fail, fail--these are life endangering guards, NOT "lifeguards!" ;-)

Swimming In Florida
Hit the swimming pool.
About to do my laps.
I got my gear and ready to rock and roll.
Please G-d, we'll spend the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (commemorating when we got the Torah) together here as a family.
What more can I ask.
Happy and grateful. ;-)
