1. Heavenly Floating with Crocs. There are women who are 'natural floaters' and, by that, I mean women who can lie on their backs in deep water and without so much as a tiny flutter kick or small swoosh of the hand, FLOAT...for hours, if they want to. I am one of those women. My partner, Lucy, is not...and she was totally envious of my ability to experience the peace and tranquility of floating until she discovered CROCS. Yes, those plastic clogs available in a wide variety of smart colours. Last summer Lucy put on her purple crocs, waded out into the lake, tentatively laid back into the water and VOILA! she floated without moving a muscle! Her life has changed! We can float together to our hearts content all for the very reasonable price of $6.97 at Giant Tiger. (Marie R.)
