My version of "taking a walk" is swimming laps.

My finest work is accomplished in the pool, going back and forth. Been a swimmer all my life, and if I don't get at least a swim or two in each week, things start to turn to shit. It's my meditation, and despite being the most boring thing on earth for some people, it's one of my favorite things to do.

Many introverted mathematical minds would love it, but you gotta learn proper technique to be able to really get into a good careless rhythm. I highly recommend it.

It's a thinking man's sport.

I agree. I'd love to swim in the ocean, if I lived near it. (Of course, devising a way to safely swim alone)

I'm an accomplished ocean swimmer too, but now live in Texas. I will say that ocean swimming is a completely different ballgame, and you need to be far more on your toes.

For me, it's not a "thinking man's" sport out there. It's a "get out of this fast and alive" and keep an eye on my line of sight sport.

But if you're a swimmer, I do encourage open water swimming if you want a good rush. Exhilarating. Wear a bright colored cap and if you get the "willies", just get the F outta there. Live to swim another day.

Are you talking about sharks?

I was thinking about tying myself to a rescue buoy. A bright colored cap is a great idea.

(Actually, swimming in ponds is probably much easier)
