Swimming Class Instructor Said A Funny One
I truly was amazed at all the things one can do with a pool noodle and will now never look at a noodle again in such bland awe. Last night’s outdoor exercise class in the community pool was taught by a bubbly gal and her notoriety as an instructor is that she likes to integrate pool noodles into the various exercises. She is so into pool noodles, that one has to make a judgment call as to wanting a low, medium, or high level of resistance pool noodle. Jeepers, what do I know about what kind of resistance I need. I let her make the choice of medium.
We were in the deep end and she says, “Straddle that noodle like on a cowboy!” as enthusiastically as any exercise instructor could get. Oh my, but the old ladies in the class perked up. The instructor took minutes to compose herself and then apologized and hid her face. I looked to see if the acne-pocked teenage boy widened his eyes any since we were in front of him as he sat high in the sky in the lifeguard chair. No change in his facial expression, we were safe there.
Lesson learned? Pool noodles come in various resistance levels, and you straddle it like it’s a horse……not a cowboy.
