Just got back from the pool.

I am not a great swimmer and bringing a kid along...well, I spend most the time in the shallow end, amusing myself with practicing my kicks and even a few punches. High knife hands are perfectly suited for a great splash fight, too, as well as various kicks...the water being 4f deep was shallow enough to allow me to lift my kicks out of the water...maybe next time I try a deeper spot...depending on what my muscles say tomorrow....

i think muhammad ali used to shadow box underwater. its a form of resistance training.

Pool training is kind of nice. You've got some natural resistance and much lower impact. The only tough part is that your feet can slip.

I swam 1200 meters today (that's about 3/4 mile).

PS - i bet i could beat you in a splish splash fight

Thaiboxers do it too. waist deep water and throw knees. You definitely feel it. I like to throw leg kicks too...because if you do it hard enough it lifts the support leg up and you feel like you're flying. Wee!
