🏊 Water you waiting for? | Bulletin #108

This week: Adventures in swimming 🏊 and saying goodbye 👋

Indoor Pool Telli📍 Aarau, Switzerland 📸 Valentina Verdesca

Standard swimming pools feeling a touch too claustrophobic for you? Head to Egypt for a dip in a pool so massive, it’s been dubbed a lagoon. Opened in 2015, this salt water oasis holds the record for the world’s largest swimming pool, but it’s not just for swimmers. Kayakers, divers, and beach goers alike flock to enjoy the watery wonderland that’s equivalent to around 60 olympic sized pools. Don’t forget your floaties!

CALLING CLEVELAND

When we explored the historic theaters and structures with our architectural besties at DLR Group, we fell in love with the Home of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Check out a little adventure rewind here!

DIVE ON IN

Our Community members are beating the heat by swan diving into their local watering holes, and they’re sending photos to prove it. We’ve selected some of our favorites to assist with a virtual cool down of sorts. So jump on in, the water’s wonderful!

Soaking up the last bit of summer? Our mustard Dad Cap and is the perfect way to block out the summer sun. It’s up for grabs this week so get your peepers out and get ready for a stylish way to be outside… 🧢
