Well, I’ve seen it all now!!

Obviously surfing the internet.

🤣🤣🤣

Went swimming today, and during my usual 20 lengths I saw a young woman swimming on her back - while looking at her phone!! She must have done a couple of lengths like that!

Was she doing backstroke with one arm only? 😲

Very good Marmin! 😂

I wonder if she was recording herself? It would be a bit of a primitive method, but who knows - maybe she's one of the ever-growing number of 'content creators'?

I am sure some people would marry their phone if they could. I wish people would fully enjoy (I was going to say immerse but perhaps not appropriate) whatever activity they are doing. It is like those who can't have a meal without photographing it and putting it on Facebook.
I hope she doesn't start a trend.

Waterproof phone presumably.

Good grief.

But...how?

what did folk do before mobile phones? the only reason I bought one , not even a smart phone , was to have with me if my car broke down. when I go into town almost everyone I pass is talking on their phone.

At the gym people stay upstairs in the weights room. Some spend 50% of the time on their mobile - well younger ones - and it's a chance to get away from it....I don't really get it, interacting with others is far nicer.

But I'd still love to hear how on earth she managed it!

From what I could see she was kicking, not very strongly, and using her non phone arm.
Dh immediately said ‘selfies’ , so probably right.

Yes.

Talk about bizarre, why not ask someone else!

On reading this my first thought was "Impressive"

Having been a competitive swimmer (only county level) in my youth,I'd have tried anything to relieve the soul destroying boredom of ploughing up and down the pool. Especially length after length of legs only.

this is bonkers

Maybe she was fat enough to float with ease.

Using one arm, I'd have thought she'd go round in circles.

The world gets crazier every day!
