Ask them to close their eyes and wade them around gently in the water. Better/cheaper than a flotation tank and a good way to foster relaxation and intimacy. Try it if you haven’t. It’s one of the best sensations in the world.

it’s somehow such a novel and retro form of exercise. no screens. just you, your breath, and your stroke. and you’ve inevitably wound up sharing a public space, whether it’s the pool or the intimacy of sharing a lane. plus there’s a little treat after, take your pick: hot tub, sauna, or a steam.

at the rec center, at the y, at free outdoor pools like the mccarren park pool… it’s so fulfilling to move your body in a way that doesn’t feel punishing because the water is truly carrying you and you are water!!! any time I find myself working too hard / tiring myself out, I let myself float 10% more and it’s also a therapy session in that way

Two years ago my best friends and I started a monthly swimming club ––the only rules are it has to be a naturally occurring body of water (so no hot tubs) and u have to fully submerge yourself (get ur head wet). it is the best thing ever. the cold water is invigorating and shocks you into life. ice baths are used to treat depression and anxiety. i can understand why

Nathan Fielder is a genius. This television series is undoubtedly the most original and interesting explorations of the human psyche. It's also hilarious.

It's so intensely ephemeral and moving. I recommend listening to it very loudly in moments where your life requires a spell of cinematic momentum.
