When I’m not working, I dress like a surfer. I look like I’m going to come into your house and clean your pool.
I would have loved to sneak off and watch some of the horse events at the Paralympics and I know Lee Pearson, who’s the Olympic gold medallist in para-equestrianism, but because I was competing in the pool I had to watch it on TV.
I don’t need a pool room with medals and everything hanging up.
Corruption is when a politician uses public funds to deliver pistachio ice cream to his home and transfer garden furniture to his Caesarea villa, then requesting that the expenses be covered for the water in his pool and fights to get a private jet.
For me, acting is like a pool you dive into. If you’re lucky, you find what you need, then get out again.
Electronics, samples and vocals are all fed into The Log.Os’ music, and a fresh take on soul comes out. The band’s songs splash around in the same gene pool as neo-soul artists like Erykah Badu, but they reach forward to pull ideas from glitch-hop producers such as Flying Lotus and Prefuse 73.
For me, I’ve learned if I want a very stable, normal relationship, where I’ll be like, ‘Okay, this is nice, I know what’s going to happen in a month,’ it’s probably better to date outside the industry. But you can’t help who you fall for. It’s our dating pool.
Every now and then, you’ll get one of those days when you’re feeling rubbish or when you have to pretty much drag yourself out of bed to get to training. But then you’ll see the Olympic pool, and all the excitement and adrenaline will come rushing back.
There is no more reason to pay for private education than there is to pay for a private swimming pool for those who do not use public facilities.
The Arab world is erupting, which is extraordinary, and to see it happen is like watching rings spreading on a pool – it goes out; it varies so much. The spontaneity is wonderful, but very often, if it’s not well organized, it breaks up, and it peters out.
Mental fitness is obviously important to being an astronaut, but so it physical fitness. For example, space walks are extremely physically demanding. We train for them in a giant swimming pool and we wear this suit that weighs about 300 pounds.
Petty thievery is a more profitable job than pool hustling, which it resembles, requires far less talent and training, and is equally devoid of promise.
I mowed yards with my grandpa at $10 a pop for awhile. I painted numbers on curbs. I cleaned swimming pools. I usually did all of that over the summer, and then I’d continue to do the yard part during the year as I went to school.
I do a lot of swimming, both in the ocean and in the pool.
The best parties have always been at my house in Ibiza. They start with a bit of music and a barbecue by the pool.
I’ve been collecting articles on extremophile bacteria for at least the last ten years. I find them fascinating, whether they live in boiling pools at Yellowstone, around thermal vents at the floors of the oceans, or on Mars, where NASA has been searching for them as the first evidence of life beyond Earth.
There are always ridiculous things on television or on the Internet that make people go, ‘Did you see that?’ That could be anything from a clip from the ‘Real Housewives’ to someone jumping off their roof and missing the pool to a zillion other things.
I grew up in the Southwest of the U.K., on the coast in Cornwall. I used to keep a marine fish tank outside the house, where we would go down to the tide pools and catch fish and crabs. I think I caught a cuttlefish once.
I’ve been in the shallow end of a pool, just kind of walking around, but this was my first time really swimming – and I was horrified! I actually lost it whenever I saw the edge of the pool. But I took baby steps and rewarded myself every step of the way.
If two very different people pool their DNA, they’ll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills.
My first-ever job was when I was 14 or 15 in Washington, D.C., a job that I got through Marion Barry’s summer-youth-employment program. It was working in the locker room of a public swimming pool, deep inside Anacostia in Southeast D.C., about five to 10 minutes from my house.
When it comes to best new artist or album or song of the year, yeah, it’s very rare that you see someone in country win one of those. It’s a very strong genre, and it’s got roots so deep in our culture. I think the pool of voters listen more to pop and R&B and hip-hop. Those seem to be the major contenders.
These days, right now, these are the good old days. I’ve always approached it that way. That’s why I’m still working. I’m not the guy who is ready to sit by the pool.
Self-builders are the adrenalin junkies of the DIY world; it’s the equivalent of base-jumping off the top of the Gherkin to land in a paddling pool.
I can shoot pool, and I can play ping-pong. I’m pretty good at those games.
OK, I’m not what you’d call ‘wild.’ But I’m no prude, either – I love to party, and I play a mean game of pool.
Schools are really, really important. It gives you access to every kid in the country. It gives you a massive pool of people to see who might be talented at different sports. It allows kids to try sports. Kids can be inspired all they want, but if they can’t go out and try a sport, then it’s no good.
If America wishes to preserve her native birds, we must help supply what civilization has taken from them. The building of cities and towns, the cutting down of forests, and the draining of pools and swamps have deprived American birds of their original homes and food supply.
Seriously, I do 20 lengths a day. I get a few funny looks in the pool from people who think, ‘Isn’t that that Happy Mondays geezer? What’s he doing here?’
I’m like a little boy from Virginia. I’m a backpacker. In my head, I’m left of centre. I come from the pool of weirdoes.
We know there are a lot of people in the unemployment pool that do not match up in their skill set for what jobs are going to be created, and that’s an area we’ve got to keep pressing on.
I love pool because it’s a game of strategy, a game of the eye, and your whole universe is like this. I really want to become a pool shark.
I hate the idea of anyone thinking that I don’t put a lot of thought about the cost to taxpayers. I make our ministers travel to events in vans to pool together.
I swim all the time at night – I’ve always been a water girl. It’s a black-bottom pool and my pool light was out, and as I’ve done a thousand times I just kind of did a little seal dive. I saw a huge bright light and I literally thought, ‘That’s it.’
My kids, they’re like nine or ten years old right now so you give ’em responsibilities just to keep them up on things. It ain’t just all about getting on the skateboard or putting your Heelys on, and swimming in the pool all the time. You gotta do stuff like wash dishes, take the trash out, feed the dog.
My favourite pool is located in a remote valley in the eastern Lake District, surrounded by vine-hung cliffs and slippery boulders. It has a torrential sheet waterfall at one end and is almost black in colour, so it appears bottomless, a portal to nowhere.
So chlorination, essentially bleaching, does work for SARS CoV-2, it does kill the virus. But the question is whether there’s enough chlorine in the pool water to do that, and of course it’s very diluted.
Politics is so much about serendipity that we’ve got to have a bigger pool of women, so that when people drop out of the process, you’ve got others to turn to.
I want to get better each and every day and attack each and every day. Whether that be a pool workout, a sand workout, an on the court workout, I’m just trying to get better in every situation.
What is the upside of inequality? I would say that it’s a deep pool of properly trained, highly motivated talent that is endeavoring to create innovation that grows our knowledge-based economy.
Companies have told us that they have employees who are near retirement age. We created a $5 billion reinsurance pool to help them bear the cost of those employees on the brink of retirement.
I love to play pool.
I’ve been a swimmer and a diver for quite a while. It was something that I think I got too comfortable with, and I dove into my black-bottomed pool and hit the slope from the shallow end to the deep end. And I had a chin to chest paralyzing break.
I’ve been barefoot most of my life: either flip flops or barefoot on the pool deck. Although you’d think that would make me a good candidate for barefoot running, that doesn’t work with me.
I love my family more than life itself, but I can only sit at home by my pool eating barbecue food so many days before I go cuckoo.
Quite a few people have commented during the campaign that more help is required for small businesses. SMEs need support and encouragement in their early stages, and in Cambridge the links to the University and the huge pool of expertise here helps that.
It makes you feel like the pool is yours when you have your family there. You walk up to them and see them crying… and you know they are proud of you.
I want to communicate to the everyday person. I don’t want to just roll around in my own avant-garde pool of coolness.
I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man’s pleasure when they come a cropper.
