Every Summer I like to go to the Pool but since I moved there is a much smaller pool than what we had in other place but where I used to live was a gigantic pool and I would love to go to it and swim for hours. Mind You this is Texas and it gets really super hot here but I think I liked swimming more in the morning and in the evening. And I could swim for hours and hours it is not]only good exercise but relaxing to me I could probably spend 6 or more hours at the pool! How about you? How long could you spend at the pool swimming and relaxing?

We have a pool at our house, we put it in a couple of years ago and we still can’t afford to have it heated which makes no difference to my husband and daughter who swim in it all the time and it does get hot here, but me, I can’t handle jumping into a freezing cold pool and the hotter the temperature outside is the colder the water feels. I swam with my daughter the other day, it was over 41 degrees Celsius which is pretty hot and as, much as I needed a swim I’m sure my heart stopped for a second or two when I got in! (LOL) When I am with my daughter I can’t get out of the pool for at least two or three hours; normally I would be quite happy with a half hour refreshing swim and that’s it. We’ve got to start saving for that heating...

Wow, you sure can be for long in the pool! In my case, I usually spend an hour or so in the pool, then go out and relax in the sun, then go back to the pool... that until the swimming pool closes

I go at 8 o'clock in the morning, with my friends and my brother. We make some sandwiches and ready to go. Sometimes i stay till 12 o'clock or even 1 PM and sometimes till 7 PM

I dont know swimming. But I can stay in pool for hours together. The longest time i can think of, I have ever been in water, is about 2 hours. Not bad for a person, not knowing swimming, isnt it.

Hi, jahernadezrivas. I can probably spend about an hour being in the pool. And as far as relaxing is concerned, I can relax for about 30 minutes after I get out of the pool. I would stay around the pool for about two hours. After that I would be ready to leave from the pool area.

My best experience about swimming was in Sanya(China), where I spent holiday with friends. I think swimming in the morning and in the evening is awesome! It's very relax. We are totally near fifteen persons. We lived in a Hotel. The pool was five or six steps seeing from my balcony. Liuyang, the girl shared room with me, loves swimming too. We often went to swim as soon as we finished breakfast and stayed in the pool till very late in the night. We would take our towers and sun protection creams and sunglasses. When I felt tired, I would lay in the beach chairs, close my eyes, enjoy the sunshine. Fortunately, there were a sunshade beside the beach chair. And we also taught those friends who can't swim. I hope I can stay there forever. I like warm weather, the beach, the pool...
