And in case anyone is wondering, the speedo isn’t just for tan lines, nor because I’m an almost 50 year old gay Aussie. It’s because it’s super practical for hauling specimens around. Walden’s are awesome for this! @waldenathletic.bsky.social

Another amazing day of snorkeling for research in St Thomas. This time about 2 hours where waterpolo skills came in handy. Catching spike balls (urchins), eggbeaters (to draw their blood), and sprints when sampling equipment fell from the catch bag accidentally. Good workout!

Fun day snorkeling (not swimming) for research. We did around 90 mins in the water in the morning and then around 30 mins this afternoon.

Last water polo of the semester and boy I’m going to miss this sport. So much fun- imagine 90 mins of HIIT in the water and in between times treading water to stay afloat. New love found! Here’s some drills

Solid 3000yd set to work off the turkey. Sprints! No water polo this time but definitely 4 months of polo has made me faster.

Awesome 90 mins of water polo today. Really dreading the end of our session in a couple of weeks. Now to find more opportunities to continue!

This semester has been awful for swimming as teaching conflicts with pool openings. Drawing down now so back to it. 2200yds of sprint free and water polo stuff… it’s harder than swimming for sure. Pity the water quality was awful in the pool today

Another awesome 90 mins of #waterpolo today. Working on 6-on-5 and loads of other drills. Feeling my age!

Another 90 mins of #waterpolo today. Turns out I’m a great sprinter to the ball but super bad about tackling folks. That’s me in the foreground.

Back to it in the pool today swim training for #waterpolo after recent travels. 2600yds of head up free, eggbeater lengths of the pool and some sprints. Having way too much fun with water polo in general!
