Have been thinking about updating or replacing my Intro posts. One of the things I've really developed an interest in since first intros is swimming, but not watching or participating in competitive pool swimming. Swimming in the sea both solo and group 
. So floating (heehee) a few sea and swim-related hashtags here and interested to hear from others who follow/use those hashtags if there are more I'm unaware of.
