I'm a very early riser on holiday. I am invariably down at the pool on a sun lounger even before anyone can put a towel on one.
We always had so many kids in our family, running around the yard, sweaty little kids jumping in and out of the pool, the front door and back doors swinging open and shut, all of the parents getting pissed off telling us to stay outside.
I've known Hillary, and her husband Bill, for more than half of my life. I remember her playing mermaid in the pool with our youngest daughter Sally for hours on family vacations.
Sometimes you meet people who can't swim. And I always think: 'Oh my God, that's extraordinary.' For me, it's always been a treat... I just feel really happy in the water.
If there's a pool I love to hangout there and layout and get some sun. If I can ever find a second to get some sun, some Vitamin D, I will do so.
I can't play soccer, and I'm not a great swimmer. I won't drown, but you won't see me doing laps in a pool.
My boyfriend is not a swimmer!
I like to sit around the pool, listen to music, barbecue, grill, stuff like that. Just the guy next door, I guess.
I would DJ pool parties in Minneapolis, but I never swam there!
Swimming is fun. It's a lot funner than golf.
My oldest son always wants to race. He's kind of like me and it now has carried over to the other two. They're all pretty competitive now. We do stuff in the pool. They're like fish in water. They go all over the place. They're kids. They like to play, have fun and compete with everything they do.
I've been barefoot most of my life: either flip flops or barefoot on the pool deck. Although you'd think that would make me a good candidate for barefoot running, that doesn't work with me.
I don't flip. I don't even dive into a pool - straight cannonball for me. No, thanks.
My mom worked for a doctor who had a pool that he heated to 90 degrees, and I hated cold water. My dad showed me how to dive in that pool, and pretty soon I started doing flips.
I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.
I've got a swimming pool and I pretend to be like a mermaid, like in the middle of the night. It kind of de-stresses me.
I grew up around the pool with my sisters. Both of my sisters swam. I was always there. So I thought, why not? My mom put us in the water for water safety, so we were comfortable in the water in case anything ever happened. I learned that way, and started liking it more and more.
In China, we don't know about the swimming pool game, but we know about Marco Polo.
