christopher575I've mentioned before that I can't yell my way through classes the way some instructors do. For deep water, I use a headset mic because the moves are a little more complicated. For standard depth, I wear a rubber ducky around my neck and squeak it when I want participants to look at me to see what to do next. The duck is a hit. People can hear it really well, and since they get an audible cue when to look, that means they don't have to look at me the whole time. People really like my playlists and the duck lets them get lost in the music.
People also love my rubber duck shorts. Someone at the Mill Creek Y found a swimsuit on Amazon and got three friends to buy them.
One week later, 11 people had duck swimsuits. Unfortunately, two left before the end of class, but I got to pose with the other nine.
Of course, I made sure to send these pictures to Brian at the Everett Y. His mom is part of the Pool Pals group that got matching shirts made, and I knew he would show them what their contemporaries one town south are up to.
