School Holidays

My swim at our local pool in Oamaru, NZ, this morning was great with lots to look at while I swam up and down and down and up! Mothers, babies, children at swimming lessons, a young girl that seem to specialise in diving with a huge splash right beside you!

[Rashella]

neat!

[Frida]

hihihihihi, typical, and that is why we don't go during the holidays!

[Al Perry]

Nice looking place I'm sure the splash was quite a surprise.

[Gillian]

Good for you! I wouldn't be able to swim in a crowded pool like that - give me uncrowded lanes any day!

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Terry Lewis]

Fun school holidays:-))

[Yvonne]

What a great facility--wow. You are quite the swimmer, way to go. Do you swim every day? I have a great respect for the water, but can only backstroke and sidestroke.

[karenann]

Great comp!! Would love to go there ... swimming is a perfect exercize. I can see that there's lots of action AND great photo ops!

[Maggiemae]

I only had permission to shoot it from where I was standing, @karenann ! They are big on privacy here and won't allow you to shoot people - cameras or guns ie!

[karenann]

Ahhh... yes. I understand, Maggie. Our pools are the same here. And parents get really "nervous" when you get around their kids. Great pov anyway!!

[Margaret Tryon]

Yes...splash them back. :-) This looks like a terrific pool.

[richard saffold]

that is a fun looking pool. every summer i always think of getting a shot at our local pool, but the way things are i just don't bother.

[Leana Niemand]

Great shot, looks a busy place but a wonderful set-up!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's a very elaborate pool! Fun for you and all the kids too.

[Rick Schies]

Swimming is a great way to get a good workout. good for you, and the pool looks very inviting

[Cathy]

A very fun pool! Love the playful colors!

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver Over on the far side are the lanes for swimming if you want to go up and down! I generally always have one to myself!

[Linda Lorraine]

Nice to have a pool like this nearby!

[Caryn]

My kids would LOVE this!

[Rach_who]

Our local pool is also very popular during the summer months but it is definitely not this colourful

[Tony]

Great indoor capture Maggie

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot Maggie

[Dianne]

Looks like a fun place... Nice shot..

[Darlene]

What a great shot of the pool you and many others enjoy, Maggiemae. What a nice way to relax and stay in shape.

[Livia]

Looks like a great pool and facility. Is this considered an indoor pool? Pools here are all outdoors. Nice shot!

[Maggiemae]

@myautofocuslife it's open all year being an indoor pool and cost the rate payers heaps when built. But it now well known for its good facilities!

[Terry]

how cool that you are doing this, I am sure you feel great afterwards .

[Maggiemae]

@sarasdadandmom it's the one thing that keeps me going, Terry - that feeling of relaxing pleasure! Something to do with endorphins, I believe!

[Joan]

That is absolutelyy awesome

[Maggiemae]

@joanbasson the children just love it - lots of floating toys, a fountain and a rock pool!

[Carole Imes]

Looks like a really nice place to go swimming. Great shot!

[Abhijit]

very cool

[tony gig]

Lovely fun shot Maggie

[Judith Greenwood]

Looks like more of your fun pool than serious training - my sort of pool - especially the sitting watching!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Looks like a fun pool xx

[Maggiemae]

The bit over the far side is the training lanes, @judithg - some local swimmers have made the champs!

[Roberta Clark Chalmers]

What a great pool!

[Frances Klein]

Nice and colorful! Looks like a fun place.

[Simply Amanda]

So bright and colorful. What a dream pool!

[Lyn]

I like the lighting here especially!

[Huda Morcos]

Beautiful shot! you're lucky you were allowed to shoot.

[Sharon]

Impressive pool. Great shot.

[bmnorthernlight]

Looks like great fun!
