| The declaration that summer is here | | | | to work on it, assuming the fun doesn't |
| still holds true today, for summer has | | | | overwhelm you... |
| not yet left, which is more than can be | | | | - You don't need a swimming pool to |
| said about that lazy relative who is | | | | swim. Simply put on your swimming |
| still on your couch (seriously, check it | | | | clothes and wait outside on the street |

| vacationing away, vacationing at home, | | | | of this occurring, or -- at the very |
| or by watching every television marathon | | | | least -- will make you a greater target |
| that doesn't actually include people | | | | for water balloons, which is pretty much |
| running real marathons (that'd be too | | | | the same as swimming anyway... |
