One of my favorite down-the-rabbit-hole websites is 1 New Idea, a collection of exactly what it sounds like. One new idea at a time. Recently, they posted an idea for this genius new lifesaving buoy. A floating seat! Question the need? Don’t worry. There are helpful cartoon images to help you understand why this buoy … Continue reading
Another reason to get yourself in the open water? According to Travel & Leisure, Turtle Beach on Buck Island, in St. Croix, is one of the world’s top beaches. Best for Seclusion: The offshore reefs on Buck Island, less than two miles north of St. Croix, get most of the attention, which means that the … Continue reading
Every swim instructor needs a Junior Lifeguard on deck, don’t you think? This 7-year-old got a lifeguard suit for her birthday.
There are a few things I will ask you to do at Swimcrest. Or rather, a few things I will ask you not to do. No running and no peeing in my pool is a given, of course. The most important rule, however, might surprise some of my swimmers. Rule #1? No Saying You’re Sorry. … Continue reading
