Swimming pools

Loops of pool noodles swirling around electrical wires in a swimming pool. Anxiety has been surrounding me for as long as I can remember. When I'm having a panic attack, 100 Kilowatts (that's 83334 potato batteries) are all firing through the water as the noodles pulse and burst under the stress, an array of neon foams shaking in unhappy waters. When I am having one of these panic attacks, there is only so much I can process of my outside world; I am stripped of the capacity to take in what's…

therapeutically (Chan, 2013). By having water be a nearby usable resource , it only betters a living situation (Hoang, 2014).

This will help the residents in many aspects and also the family of the elderly by giving them a sense of relaxation know their loved ones are safe and well taken care of. These facilities can do nothing but…

The most exciting thing I did the summer was go to Texas to visit my friend and we went to Turner falls in Oklahoma. It was so fun to see my best friend again and hangout out with her.

I went to Texas for my best friends birthday and I really enjoyed that. I thought it was cool to see my best friend again, but the second day I was there she had a friend over…

“I can't wait until I get to leave for my vacation tonight!” I exclaimed. It was the summer of 2014 and I was counting down the hours until I left on my Cooperstown vacation. I was going to visit New Jersey, New York City, and Pittsburgh on my way to Cooperstown. My parents couldn’t get me to Pittsburgh, so, I went with one of my teammates. We left Chicago on Monday June 30th, 2014, and we arrived in Cooperstown on Saturday July 4th, 2014. We arrived in New Jersey the next morning…

things you never knew were possible, reaching outside your level of comfort. It is important to have a positive attitude while working so you can do everything that needs to be done. My value of profession is swimming. I accomplish and succeed more in swimming when I am positive. While swimming I keep a positive attitude through the hard sets and I push myself past my breaking point . When the sets get hard, I think to myself “this is not the time to give up, but the time to push myself…

I started swimming deeper and deeper while my family had no idea where on earth I was, they started disappearing from my eyesight and the only sound I could hear was the sound of waves. I got really scared and my legs could not even touch the ground. At this point…

released on July 19, 2013 by the producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite. The film shows orcas being trapped in SeaWorld for human entertainment. They are trapped in small swimming pools where they have no place to hide or no place where they can be away from the rest of the orcas. The argument it makes is that orcas should be free and not in pools. The trainers at SeaWorld believe that SeaWorld should close and let all the killer whales live their rest of their life in the ocean where they belong. They…
