What do I see when I swim? 🏊‍♂️👀

It's not just the black line marking the center of the lane, a static point of reference as I go back and forth each lap.

It's also the dance of sunlight and water, constantly moving, shimmering on everything below the surface - beauty in motion ☀️🌊✨ 😌

I usually swim laps at lunchtime, when I enjoy the warmth of the sun on my skin and the shimmer of sunlight on everything below the water's surface ✨

But swimming in the evening isn't bad either - the glow of the pool and festive lights outside the fitness club are pretty too ☺️

View just above the surface of an outdoor swimming pool at night. The pool glows blue from underwater lights, light from inside the fitness club gleams through the windows out onto the dark pool deck, and colored lights lining the top of the building reflect on the still surface of the pool.

It felt good to swim laps today after a few days off. The air was a little chilly, but sunlight peeking through the cloudy sky was nice 🏊⛅😊
View just above the surface of an outdoor swimming pool on a cloudy December 1st afternoon. Steam can faintly be seen rising from the water due to the cool air temperature. The black line marking the center of a lane is visible on the bottom of the pool, and lane lines are at the surface on both sides of the lane. The pool deck, lounge chairs, walls of the fitness club building, trees, and nextdoor office building are visible in the background.

This recap of my year on Bluesky is neat - it seems I'm below average on interaction numbers, but rather proficient at grass touching 😉

The @anisota.net interface is pretty cool too 😎

We're excited to share the name of this year's penguin chick — Tater! 🐧 🥔 A recent blood test revealed that our newest Gentoo (hatched in May to parents Carla and Big Foot) is male. The name was chosen by the winning bidder of our annual fundraising auction.
