How do you relax?
I find swimming to be a somewhat more tedious an exercise than say, running or hiking, but I do love it when I feel my upper body–arms and my chest–flush with blood and elevated heart rate when I pull myself up the ladder. The dip in the jacuzzi at 104, with strong jets and clean water puts me into bliss.
I love the patterns of light on water, but more importantly–the refractions on the bottom of the pool from the sun. I also like cutting through completely calm water and making a wake. Hockney eat your heart out! If I don’t want to work at swimming–floating on a raft is relaxation with a capital R!
Finally, for all you hardened campers–there’s always rocks!
Just cut the crap and get to dancing!
