One of my favorite things....

Here's one thing that's just the best in my opinion:

Hopping into an empty lane at the pool with glass-like water, slinking down underwater and pushing off the wall into a tight streamline with my back facing the bottom and dolphin kicking.

My favorite thing is to see my transparent reflection coming back from the water's surface, me kicking, and watching that reflection slowly start to distort as my kicks displace water on the surface.

Kick, kick, kick...getting hypoxic. Kick to the surface and take a lungfull of air. Another thing to really appreciate.

It's something you'll have to try. It's been a simple pleasure of mine for going on 2 decades.
