I love, Love, LOVE getting water pic suggestions from blog readers and I’m super excited to share a few of my favorites!
My Dynamo buddy Karl tweeted Popular Mechanics’ list of 10 incredibly cool swimming pools, including this crazy floating pool planned for New York City’s East River (also brought to my attention by Lectie):
2016. NYC. I need to check out this pool!!! And then go eat some New York pizza, of course!!
As if lusting over domestic swimming holes isn’t enough, Tim sent me a CRAZY pic of what looks like an underwater waterfall in Mauritius:
What?!?!? Where is Mauritius? And what the heck is an underwater waterfall?!?! I desperately needed to know so thank goodness for Google!!
Answers: Mauritius is a little island off the coast of Africa
And the “underwater waterfall” effect is actually sand falling into an underwater crevasse. Read all about it HERE.
Mauritius actually made the Reader’s Choice list of the 35 Clearest Waters to Swim in Before You Die. My friend Ryan found this list, which is a follow-up to a list I blogged about a while back.
I honestly can’t decide on a favorite from this list, but this beach in the Caymans looks like a GREAT place to be lazy and sleep/read on the beach after a swim. And there are few things in life I enjoy more than being lazy post-swim.
And finally, a cool sunset swim shot courtesy of Washington, D.C. area swim coach, David Wendkos.
Wow! Water can be unbelievably gorgeous!! Thanks to everyone who sent the links and pics!! Have a very happy, and hopefully swim-filled, Wednesday!!

You probably already saw the largest pool in the world, but it is in Chile and is 0.6 miles long! Can you imagine a measly 4-lap ironman swim in this pool? Sounds and looks magical! http://themetapicture.com/its-pretty-ridiculous-that-something-like-this-exists-the-worlds-largest-swimming-pool/
