A swimming riddle is:

Q: What kind of exercises are best for a swimmer?
A: Pool-ups.

The riddle was posted on Twitter by Dermaswim Pro on February 25, 2011. There is no defined exercise as a “pool-up” (pool + pull-up).

Wikipedia: Pull-up (exercise)
A pull-up is an upper-body strength exercise. The pull-up is a closed-chain movement where the body is suspended by the hands and pulls up. As this happens, the elbows flex and the shoulders adduct and extend to bring the elbows to the torso.

I just found a new spin on pull-ups on my split-level pool/spa’s ledge—I call them “pool-ups” #yukyukyuk
