Well 2 weeks ago, I went for a Wednesday swim because it was a super hot day... So there I was just in my Merfin splashing about in the Wave pool, they had the lane things in so i swam in the shallows.Quote:

NICE
And I swear, it gets crowded with kids soon as I flop into the water!! Methinks there are spies there!
Me thinks you are right about the spies Jaffa
just wait till there are multiple mers in the pool. population at the pool will explode
Hahaha thats awesome; I cant wait to come swimming with you there 😀
Will be showing off my Summer Tail on Saturday...
nice Jaffa
Oooo summer tail 😀
Another sweltering day tomorrow, I think I'll stay there the whole day!
to much humidity every ware
Staying at a pool all day dose sound really nice tho
I won't be there on Saturday 13th, as I'm to my niece's ballet concert. I will be at the pool on Sunday instead.
And since its school holidays, I'll be swimming on Sundays instead. There are more lanes in the deep end. At the same times, 1 - 4 pm.
Hey Pod, sorry i havent been on... christmas got so full on *sigh* my life should re-settle after the 15th.
How was everyones chrissy and new year?? ☺
Big squishy fishy hugs to you all xo
Lol Just wanted to say imagine the publicity if there are kids at moreton island when we are all there with our tails lol that will attract the kids :)

Hahaha that would be totally awesome though.....this Mer loves kiddies ☺
Sure did Jaffa lol
We need a lil sydney meet beforehand though, can we organise that for near the end of Jan ???? ☺
Sure thing. Any weekend if fine by me.
Well... jan turned out to be one verrrry busy month :(
I was so run off my feet, and worst part was the chlorine at the penrith ripples (i went with a young merman for his 11th bday) totally killed my tail.....the little bits of purple stained it all :'(
So now i no longer have a rainbow tail but a washed out purple one *sigh*
How was everyone elses month???
Aw poop about your tail, Tasha! Are you going to repaint it or shop around for a new one?Quote:

Swim wise, it has been great! I've been practicing with a smaller monofin, to build up core strength as I have very little of it, the Finis Foil and it is super! I even managed a small fish hop out of the water like the guy who did the monofin jump on youtube. Not cursing my buoyancy anymore as it has been VERY helpful in propelling me very fast to the surface to practice more Fish Hops!
And depending on the pool schedule, I usually go during midweek only if there is 6 or more lanes, so I can swim in the deep end. Otherwise, swimming during weekends, I'm stuck in the shallow end and that's not fun when you're flipping tricks and trying not to smash one's head and face on the pool floor.
I found out yesterday at the pool, there is no waterpolo on Saturdays during winter. I have the entire deep end to myself, well in lanes, but I swim underwater so the lanes really don't count!
So the whole afternoon, 12 pm to closing time... It feels so luxurious!:lol:
