New discoveries

Today was one of experiments and pleasant discoveries. Below is a picture of the best (and cheapest) pool idea I have been offered. I often complain at the lack of swimming opportunities when I am on the road in hotels with tiny pools. Using this simple resistance band, I was able to turn the typical small hotel pool in to a good 30minutes of swimming.

Simply secure the band to the top of the pool steps in the deep end. Securing it any lower will result in your feet dropping low in the water. Then, tuck your feet in to the loops and swim against the resistance. Distance is tough to measure, of course, so bring a wrist watch with you to measure intervals with time. 30 minutes should be good, because the water gets quite rough around you and nausea could be common.

Love this new discovery and I encourage all to try it. Just be smart about not becoming too tired, because when you stop your feet are still attached and require some contortion to get out of them and you don't want to be knackered doing it.

Good luck to us all!
