If you recall, last Tuesday was the second Tuesday in a row that I tried something new... and I declared I was creating "Try It Tuesday" until such time as I am sick of trying new things for my and your amusement.
I'm not sick of it yet, so we're back with more hair-flippin' fun... still barefoot ... and still wearing that ridiculous skirt.
But this week I got a new swimsuit for the occasion... and I am wearing it for the activity...
'cuz it's time for....
swimming... barefoot... in a skirt.
I can't believe no one saw that coming a mile away :P Well, I think Catey did... and maybe Jill, too.
Before you click on the video, I must warn you....
That third point will also help explain why I stop in the middle of the pool and act lost. And why I am reaching for an edge that is ... out of reach :P I could not tell where the heck I was... and I utter a little more 'language'... ooooops.
So my review of the barefooted, skirted swimming? Thought you'd never ask...
Barefoot: definitely makes things easier... unless the other option is flippers. But shoes and/or socks would be a real hindrance. In future swims, I would opt for 'barefoot'.
Skirt: not hydrodynamic so it would definitely slow you down. Not all that easy to kick in and very difficult to climb out of the pool in. However, if you have a fat or unsightly butt, a skirt is where it's at. Also, if you have been slacking a little in the personal grooming department, the skirt totally keeps the world from knowing... the longer the skirt, the lazier you can be :) But if going for speed and ease of movement, the skirt gets the 'thumbs down' from me.
This next clip was filmed unbeknownst to me. I thought a simple photograph was taken of the cool, swirling skirt in the water. I had no idea that there would be audio, nor did I have a clue that the camera was recording me as I took off the skirt and got into the hot tub...
As usual, apologies are in order for the poor video quality and the dismal lighting... but we are amateurs shooting with a cellphone. And when it's put that way, it all looks pretty good, right?

- I think I utter a small amount of profanity in there. It happens right before I go in the pool... so plug your ears if that sort of thing offends you :)
- I really and truly cannot remember the last time I actually swam... I think it was in 2004 in the Swiss Alps. I am not making that up.
- I am essentially as blind as a bat! I couldn't even see the water surface when I was standing there getting ready to dive in. It is really scary to dive into a glassy surface, not knowing how warm or cold it is and not knowing how far away it is. Hence the profanity.
