Congratulations to swim coach Rod McClave on winning his second open water swim of the season! Rod took first place at the East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue Squad’s Open Water Swim on August 14.

Rod won the two-mile swim with a time of 43:33, which was well ahead of his 24 other competitors. He also stole first place at the East Hampton Open Water Swim in Montauk this past July.

According to The East Hampton Press, the Ocean Rescue Squad's Assistant Captain, Rich Kalbacher said, "That's fast!" He also noted that many swim the race as a personal challenge, but it's clear that Rod can race.

Congratulations to Rod and best of luck in his next open water challenge: a 19-island-hopping, 7-mile swim and 33-mile run in Sweden over Labor Day weekend.

"Want to look better in a bathing suit? Use your (pool) noodle. Turns out, the ubiquitous foam toy (you've probably had backyard "sword" fights with one!) is also an ultra-effective tone-up tool," writes Holly St. Lifer in her most recent article in Self magazine. Titled "Slim in a Splash," the article features a workout I created exclusively for Self utilizing the pool and a noodle.

With the variety of noodle moves featured, you'll look like a synchronized swimmer but feel like a hardcore athlete. The exercises will work your abs, obliques, legs, hips, arms, chest and butt, giving you a full-body workout perfect for the sizzling days of summer.
