The flipping things go sideways

In order to work on different parts of my body, Kat, my massage princess in Kerang, suggested that I try flippers and a kick board.  Steve and I decided that some good goggles would be helpful.  The goggles were an excellent special online, so we bought a pair each.  Rachel had a spare kickboard hanging in her garage; the flippers cost $6 at an Op Shop.    I look quite a sight when I'm all kitted out ---- oh yes, quite a sight!

I am really enjoying the goggles --- underwater looks like magic.  They don't exercise any part of me, though.  If I use the flippers without the kickboard, my legs sink to the bottom.  If I use both kickboard and flippers, I swim sideways.  I start off pointing squarely up the pool and end up knocking into a side wall (or anyone in between.) 
I think I would like a snorkel now.
