Just Keep Swimming
2009-09-03 19:55:00 When the pull of life's undertow is dragging me down, I swim.I imagine I have been shipwrecked and that I must try to reach the land.[I usually imagine this is taking place somewhere near the Fiji Islands.][The water is completely shark free so I don't have to worry about that.][Hey, this is my head trip so I can manufacture whatever weird details see me through.]It amuses me that I routinely swim when stressed, trying very literally to save myself from metaphorically drowning.I know I could probably sail home on some sort of chemical lifeboat, but as long as I am able I somehow favor trying to get there on my own.So I swim and swim and swim.Today it took me two hours to reach the shore.

Swimming with dolphins is for assholes
2009-08-11 04:30:00 When he speaks about the impact of captivity on the mammals, he doesn’t sound like a showboater, and what might seem like New Age-y talk about dolphin intelligence is pointed up with footage that left me haunted, too. That smile, says O’Barry, is nature’s greatest deception. Dolphins smile even when they’re crying on the inside. Living in Florida, I am used to certain theme-and-water-park douchebaggery. Comes with the heat, bugs, and old people driving 30-mph down the highway. But there is something vastly disturbing about certain aquariums and water parks. And not only in Florida. Most of the places where you are allowed to swim, pet, and kiss dolphins are getting these self-aware and beautiful creatures from the seas of Japan. Trainers from all over the world flock to a little town called Taiji where about thirteen fisherman use loud noises to frighten hundreds of dolphins every year and force them into a tiny cove. Once there, trainers pick only the cutes...

Top Ten Tips - Keeping Your Swimming Pool Safe
2008-06-05 06:00:00 Summer hasn’t officially started yet, but there are already plenty of news reports about children drowning in swimming pools. In many cases, it was because no one was watching them or the pool lacked appropriate safety features. Here’s how to make sure your pool is safe: Install Fences - Install at least a four-foot fence around the perimeter of your pool with a self-closing latch that is not accessible to children. Also consider installing a fence around the perimeter of your yard so you do not have any wandering neighborhood kids coming for a swim when you’re not home. Buy A Pool Alarm - If you can afford one, buy a pool alarm, which sounds off when someone goes in the water. Consumer Reports and Good Housekeeping recommends Poolguard. Have The Appropriate Safety Devices - Have a life preserver or a shepherd’s hook nearby. Personal floatation devices, like inner tubes or swim wings, are not as effective in an emergency. Maintain Your Pool Drain - Make sure...
