Spent fuel pool

to the Dominican Republic. We vacation out of the country every year to places like Mexico, Jamaica, and Dominican Republic. This year we were in Punta Cana on a beautiful resort. For the first couple of days we just chilled out on the beach and the pool. It was an all inclusive resort so everything was free, food, drink, anything you wanted it was free. It was very hot and humid and if you did not go in the water to cool off you would have sweated to death. On the fifth day down there we went…

remember a time when I was little my mom took me and my sister to Raging Rivers Waterpark. The waterpark was huge to us it had three slides, a little kid area and a wave pool. The wave pool was always my favorite if I wasn't at the little kid area I was in the wave pool my mom use to tells stories about me not wanting to leave the wave pool she told me that I would cry or throw a fit. I remember a time when we went to the waterpark and my moms friend ask me if I wanted to go down the toilet…

fulfill my dream, which seemed impossible, until suddenly my dream came true. I got to opportunity of a lifetime to travel to Australia with a group of 12 kids, all older than me, that I had never met. I knew I had to go. In a dream come true, I spent the entire trip immersed in scuba diving. The day came when we were going to load our stuff onto the boat that we would call home for a week; I was in heaven. None of the other kids had their scuba diving license, so…

sitting on your sofa, watching TV. That’s why I want you to come to the pool. “That’s not exercise!” You say? It is a lot more exercise than sitting on your sofa watching TV! First of all, swimming is fun! You get to hold your breath underwater, jump off the diving board, and do cannonballs into 3’ foot water! You can cool off from the hot summer sun, and meet new friends. Next, when you’re at the swimming pool, it is easy to learn new things, like to doggy-paddle, to…

The Swimmer- Compared and Contrasted Many books over the years have been turned into a movie. Many of the movies are that same as the book and many are completely different. But most movies have a little bit of both. Take for instance, ‘The Swimmer’. A little 10 page short story turned into a hour and a half long movie. So of course they had to add and take away information. But most of the time it is for us, the watchers, to understand the movie, better. When analyzing both the story and movie…

Florida is my favorite place to go because there is so much to do.,like going to the beach, swimming, or even fishing. There are buildings upside down and weird shaped, there are lots of amazing places to eat that are not in Alabama. My favorite activity in Florida is to go go cart racing, going to the beach, and swimming. There are lots of hotels in Florida. Florida has more buildings than Alabama and taller buildings than Alabama. The reason I like Florida is because it is always warm…

At the start of the poem it seems as if the author describes the lake in the quarry to be quiet and lifeless yet inviting. Then suddenly the author introduces the woman with metaphors to water like creatures. This makes the reader keep guessing what the author is talking about, but after they realise that the woman is being described like an animal, because she’s eager to dive into the water. This leads to one of the themes of life and a new adventure. As the author describes the woman's descent…

feel very lonely, almost anxious. The focal point seems to be the center of the room, more so the pool table and the waiter. The waiter stands out more than anything else because of his cream and yellow under toned outfit. The reason he stands out so much is because the walls are almost florescent red, the lights are this mac and cheese yellow, and in various places the most prevalent being the pool table is a puke green. So a cream colored object is bound to stand out and look almost as though…

I was watching the Santa Clara Arena Swim Series over the past weekend and I was reflecting on elite swimming careers. I watched the ageless Anthony Ervin and Natalie Coughlin race and compete at a high-level into their mid-thirties. Twenty years ago, no one was competing at this age! I kept asking myself, how are these older athletes having this historic swimming career? After much thought I realized, health is the answer! Health is a broad term, but holistically all the elements of health…

enough of sliding into a ditch. I talked my friends into going to my house to go swimming in my pool. They agreed that was a better plan than staying here. Of course the boys heard us, and they followed us to my house. My pool was packed with teenagers. My mom was about to have a fit, but she eventually got over it. My mom had recently bought a cheap volleyball net that one of the boys found in the pool storage box. We enjoyed playing volleyball. We continued to yell at each other. “It’s our…
