Blue water churning, splashing
Elvis Presley pumping rhythm
“Arms up....rotate forward....now rotate back!”
Biceps barely bulging
Exquisite ache demands rest.
Quick dip and shake in time to the music
“Jog in place!”
Balance in water is delicate
Falling over not possible.
Extra paunches light and flappy in the water.
“Now rocking horse...opposite leg and arm....now faster!”
(And I thought rocking horses were child’s play)
Under water, precision is invisible.
“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.”
~ A.A.Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
