On really hot days, I try to motivate friends and family to come into the pool for an aqua jogging session which I teach. Aqua jogging is a great way to avoid the impact of regular walking or jogging on land. This is especially beneficial for those who have joint pain or who are healing from an injury.
The great thing about having a pool in L.A. is that I can use it year-round. And since I’ve always been an athlete, staying fit is very important.
I find I clash sometimes with people who like to plan things and book you in for lunch. I’d rather someone call me up, say: ‘Are you free tonight and d’you wanna go to the roller-disco? Or play pool?’
Not to sound corny, but if life is a sport, if you’re moving to dive on a fumble or pick up a basketball in transition or pivoting to grab your toddler so he doesn’t fall into a pool… those are real life movements.
After being signed by WWE, Edge, Christian, Mark Henry, Giant Silva, Test and Ken Shamrock all trained at my house. I had a pool room with an indoor pool and a garden behind it. I took out the garden and put in a wrestling ring.
Our home in Dubai is a beach house, so it’s more casual and not formal in its tone. It’s a holiday home. We are mostly in the pool or on the beach or in the sun. It’s an outdoor place for the family. So there are mudbikes, a boat, football posts, and the pool is heated.
One of the main things I look for in a guitarist is in the sound itself. I go for a certain sound, and I think it’s an important thing for making a player more identifiable in the big giant pool of musicians out there. You want a sound that people will recognise just as much as your playing.
Once you find that perfect suit that fits just right, it will give you an extra boost of confidence that will make your pool or beach day even better.
I want to widen the pool. In the past, England players have maybe had the comfort of knowing what the next squad is going to be before it’s announced, but I’d like there to be more uncertainty. More competition for places means the standard goes up.
I had wanted to place the Eye-in-the-Sea at an oasis on the bottom of the ocean, in some site rich with life that was likely to be patrolled by large predators. The first time I got to test the camera at such a place was in 2004, in the north end of the Gulf of Mexico, at an amazing location called the brine pool.
In the 1920s, Wall Street was a world that was really dominated by professional speculators and stock pools. These people had a monopoly over information.
Katie Ledecky is the best swimmer in the world. You could say she’s impressive with what she can do in a pool.
There is a pool of references in New York and Los Angeles that are almost exclusively drawn from the media, from the world of television and advertising.
One thing I am scared of is the unlimited amounts of dark money that Republicans have access to in terms of the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson. There is a large pool of Republican mega-donors who can pump money into competitive races across America.
It feels like I’m in a swimming pool, and I am constantly trying to stay above water. Sometimes I feel like I’m slipping, and you try to come up for air, and that’s how it is when looking for the next role.
I do pool exercises, like weightlifting but underwater. I walk, I swim… I’m pretty fit for an old bloke.
When you interview at Google, they don’t tell you what the job is. You get hired for a pool and the reason they do it that way is they don’t want outsiders learning their secrets in the interview process.
I was what they call a pool hustler. That’s absolutely true. For long periods of time I got by, barely skimmed by, just playing pool.
That’s a beautiful thing about India, they got such a big pool of players to call upon. If somebody gets injured, the replacements are generally pretty good.
Swimming outside the pool is scary. I don’t like not knowing what’s underneath me – it’s quite dark in lakes. I swam in the sea in Australia around the Great Barrier Reef, though, and that was incredible because you could see exactly what was underneath you.
I like laying by the pool but I do tend to get a bit bored after a couple of days chilling out.
Illustration is commercial. It’s work that we produce, and I think what you can do is you can draw from the pool of art, but most of it comes from a pool of knowledge.
I will not negotiate the demise of the ACA with the Trump administration, but I would certainly be willing to work with responsible Republicans to fix some of the problems, particularly by strengthening the individual purchasers market to bring younger and healthier people into the risk pool.
I like the odd day relaxing by the pool, but I couldn’t stand to sunbathe for an entire week.
Someone once referred to modeling as being like winning the lottery gene pool. It’s such an odd way to put things, but what is different about modelling is that the industry often picks you.
But I believe that there are marriages where you can have your pool table and she can have her scrapbooking room or garden or whatever it is. But when everyone has what they want, it’s not funny. There’s no conflict.
Microwork gives marginalized people a chance to earn a living by playing a vital role in the business processes of big companies. In parallel, the organization assists local entrepreneurs in running microwork centers, helping to grow a new pool of business talent across the developing world.
Outdoors, I have a pool, so I usually swim and stuff. It’s usually superhot in California, so we swim.
As a teen-ager I played cards, shot craps, played pool, went to the track, hung around social clubs. I knew that some card and crap games were run by the mob, and some social clubs were mob social clubs. Even as a kid I knew guys that were here today, gone tomorrow, never seen again, and I knew what had happened.
I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.
Yeah, so my dad was a skater back in his teenage days, and he used to skate pools and bowls and stuff and vert ramps – and he was actually pretty good. But his parents were just never the most supportive of it.
When you get to the big leagues, the talent pool is on such a level playing field, you have to find a way to separate yourself from incredibly talented guys. Especially when you go through the injuries that I’ve had, you come back, and you might not physically be able to do some of the things you used to do.
If there’s 10,000 little boys racing around the world and there’s only 10 girls, best case 100, the numbers are stacked massively against us. If you don’t increase the talent pool of young girls, you’re not going to get the best drivers at the top.
Being happy outside the pool means fast swimming in the pool.
The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.
I never viewed money as being ‘my money’ I always saw it as ‘the money.’ It’s a resource. If it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.
When I’ve been working especially long hours, I make a point to spend an extra hour or two without my phone, doing something my children choose. They love the park or pool time, but mostly, they love my undivided attention.
More than ever, the world needs good engineers. However, the pool of talent is shrinking not growing.
The actress they’d hired had refused to appear naked in front of the camera. I didn’t like to appear naked either, but the first thing I did was take off my clothes and jump into the pool completely naked.
I was a short order cook in a pool hall in college. So, I am the fastest cook in the world.
Most people might just as well buy a share of the whole market, which pools all the information, than delude themselves into thinking they know something the market doesn’t.
The wealth that was created by my investments wasn’t put into a giant swimming pool as so many elected demagogues seem to imagine. Instead it benefitted our employees, their families and our community at large.
I was part of integrating the public swimming pool in the 1960s. A group of us decided one day we were going to go swimming. Nothing happened. No resistance. We just went and jumped in.
Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools.
When you look at the increase in the number of scripted series and the number of unscripted hours, the pool of producers hasn’t grown at the same rate. So I think there’s a bit of a creative tax on the system.
I’ve known Hillary, and her husband Bill, for more than half of my life. I remember her playing mermaid in the pool with our youngest daughter Sally for hours on family vacations.
I am a keen medievalist and like going around museums and ruins and finding out about the people and local culture. I’m not one for sitting by a pool or lying on a beach. I also like to sketch while I’m on holiday, if I have time.
I’ve seen schools in Detroit where the windows are broken, where there’s no heat, and children are sitting with their coats on in class in the middle of a snowstorm. I’ve also seen schools in California with Olympic-sized swimming pools and cafeterias like five-star restaurants.
Both the velodrome and the Commonwealth swimming pool are open to the public and are frequently used by local schools and the local community. Over the last six years young people have been inspired to take up swimming and cycling more seriously; some of them are now coming through as Olympic champions or hopefuls.
