Did a couple of the underwater laps challenges, but didn't use a mask/fins/snorkel. Then some synchro figures, & some handstands, longest just over a minute.

Those are not. Sorry. If I can find some of me I'll post some. I had some CD's with pics that I have not been able to find since a recent move & I haven't had time to go on a quest to look for them.

I was lap swimming, then did my syncho for about an hour. I did 7 handstands. I didn't have anyone timing me, looking at the lap clock on the wall my longest was about a minute & a half.

That's what one of my friends told me the time was. She was watching the lap-clock on the wall while I was underwater.

I'm a very good swimmer, & I'm also into sychro & freediving. So I'm very comfortable underwater & I can stay under for quite...

A lot. I love doing them.

What I don't like is when we're having contests, & someone who comes up before I do does things like pushing me over or tickling my legs & feet.
