Now, bobbing up and down with a noodle under my butt is what I do when I'm in a neighborhood pool. There is a lot to be said about that kind of relaxation.......utterly sublime!

Swimming laps is perfectly conducive. You, however, are not. That's why you have a problem swimming laps in a pool that most people have no problem swimming laps in. It's not the pool. It's you.
