    My oh my!
    And what palace is that you got wet in?
    Woah!
  • Just my gyms pool, must admit it is a nice place to get wet. Usually the lights are dimmed too. The downside is it's only 14m.

    Very early morning swim!
    All on my lonesome for the first half of it!

    Hopefully I'll be able to restart the swims Wednesday or Thursday, so though I was here today, I didn't swim.
    Water sports club on the banks of the Indian Ocean!

    The scene of today's crime of swimming with a smartphone in the pocket of one's temporary swim shorts!

    Venue for the race series I take part in, which also happens to be my primary training location. Swam with dolphins here last week.

    One of the two pools I swim in often. Yes, there are seals in there when I swim and sometimes turtles too. I swim to clean the pool, but hoping to get to do some more water work with the seals soon as well. The other pool I swim in is also full of seals and turtles...

    AQ, where ARE you?? Wow! No wonder you go a little crazy when you can't get in the water! I love the beach with the palm trees... Hmmm... I'm picturing my crazy loud pool with 8 kids per lane in the four lanes next to me. When they start butterfly drills, I usually realize how long it will take me to get ready for an open water swim!!

    LOL. Nairobi, Kenya, so usually nowhere near the ocean.
    But was at the coastal city of Mombasa during Christmas. It's our "summer" here. Really hot! :smile:
    But tomorrow hopefully resume my 5:30 am swims in a cold pool, in the dark with not a palm tree in sight!

    Today at the end of my swim, I was joined on the pool deck by one of these:

    They really are huge - that bird must have been close to my shoulder height - and I'm just half an inch shorter than 6 feet!
    Unfortunately I didn't have a camera to take a picture of the actual one!

    The Lake on Thursday morning. It's pretty, even if it is far too early in the morning.

    How do they get the water to stay up there on the roof like that?

    That is amazing - 2 lanes and one is free on Sunday afternoon. Great having that availability!

    That is just so beautiful Kida. Wish I could swim in our lakes.
    Wow
