ok pinterest & google, when I ask for deep water lake swimming exercises, I mean 50-300 feet deep water. Muskoka deep. Algonquin Highlands deep. can-only-get-in-by-jumping-off-the-end-of-a-dock-into-the-abyss-because-the-shore-is-a-vertical-chunk-of-granite deep. not the barely-six-feet "deep end" of a community pool.

Remembering the Days of the 'Wild Wild West'...

A long time ago we rode bikes like the wind and cried if we couldn’t go outside and play. As far as I remember bottled water did not exist, and we drank from the faucet and especially the garden hose.
