Walking the Lap Lane

I don’t like to swim 
So a swimmer I’m not,
But I am in Florida
And it is hot!

While visiting friends,
We sat by the pool,
The sun beating down 
Where I’d sweat like a fool.

But I learned a new way
To cool off, doing laps 
By walking in water - 
You’ve tried it, perhaps?

It felt so refreshing 
And it could be seen
As a part of a person’s
Aerobic routine.

And the cherry on top
Is I got to replace
My pale New York complexion
With pink on my face.
