Livin La Vida Loca--- Poolside

If you had daily access to a pool steps away from your front door, what would you do in it?

Pool Time According to Roman

Step 1) Sidle out onto the wall between hot tub and pool. Bring plastic cup provided for your dipping and pouring convenience over by the bar.



Step 2) Fill cup and find the nearest drain to pour it in.

Step 3) Repeat as needed for the duration of pool time.


According to Xandri

Step 1) Make friends with some people with floaty toys.

Step 2) Wait till their son outgrows his.

Step 3) Somehow manage to get them to give you said floaty toy for your floating enjoyment for the rest of your hotel stay.


Step 4) Ignore your sister's insistent assertions that it is her turn to use the floaty toy.

NOTE: Floaty toys are desirable for all skill levels, even if you've already learned how to swim and have been swimming independently for 3 weeks.


According to Avril

Step 1) Always make sure you're as beautiful and graceful as a mermaid. It may help if you shout, "Mermaid! Mermaid! Mermaid!" every time your head is out of the water.

Step 2) Practice all sorts of tricks in the water- such as twirling, pretending to drown, flipping and swimming across the pool with your head under water. Maybe even try a handstand if you get up the courage. Be sure to ask your mom to show you all of her tricks cause she might have some good ideas, too.

Step 3) If your mom is anywhere near, make sure you're doing the drowning trick and hang onto her for dear life. With all your weight and all the drama you can muster.


Step 4) Always, ALWAYS take a bow for any appreciative audience you may have gained during your time under water.


A Final Tip From All Three

If your mom is ever in the water, everyone ambush all at once. It's also really fun to hang on your mom while she runs the length of the pool. You can urge her on by yelling "Faster!" right in her ear. And she won't even complain because it's such a good workout.
