Anyone else remember the pleasure of doing this?

First you float in a leisurely fashion on your back, then spontaneous as an otter you roll backwards underwater looking upwards.   As you go under there are  2 bright shades of blue tilting away from you; the water and the sky beyond it. Now watch your bubbles of air mushrooming up through it, and look! there are your feet upside down like an astronaut.

What do you mean the water goes up my nose?

If I start feeling like a commuter  grinding up and down the pool I do a few of these and remind myself why I like the water 🙂
