The Swimming Pool Store – Guest Post
With a decline in physical activity and a rise in children attaching themselves to everything from TVs to tablets, it so no wonder that obesity and poor health amongst children is a growing concern. Many parents are worried that their children can easily slip into a habit of laziness and lack of activity, making them less healthy generally and more susceptible to a number of illness and problems that could affect their quality of life.
This in turn has led to pushing them to take part in a number of different physical activities and sports in the hope that they will become fitter and much healthier – bolstered by the Olympics over 85% of children are now taking part in sport, with swimming being the number one choice for 5-10 year olds, beating football by over 10%.

Open Ocean – Time Lapsed Art by Burg Thurston
“Excited to share my second large wave art project; Open Ocean. If you love waves, you’ll know this is the classic wave that all young ocean lovers aspire to scribble in their school books, it depicts perfection and draws you into it’s alluring power.
This painting is based off one of my favourite photos I took in 2013, I had to swim 2km out to sea to an Open Ocean bombie of reef and while I was dodging wild and heavy 10 foot clean up sets, this 6 foot slab creeped through on the inside wrapping flawlessly to the reef platform and exploding into the sky. Still to date one of the best waves i’ve ever seen break with my own eyes..
Thought it’s worthy of being glorified in paint..”
