#underwater exercise

Two divable girlfriends-- Sheena the Lioness and Raquel Wrench-- who could never resist the sensation of a diving experience so offered.

Only this time, they're pulling off an underwater swim "just to limber up ahead of the next dive" more than anything.

The practice isn't that uncommon with our feline diver gals, doubtless rather close in friendship all because of a chance meeting on set.

And when you're in the shallows with them by sheer serendipitous chance-- what more could make a difference, even an offer of diving lessons?

(As in the teenage versions of PEBBLES and BAMM-BAMM heading home from another day of school and after-school socialising at the Brontoburger Stand)

BAMM-BAMM: I suppose you're still wondering if I still happen to have some strength in me, Peb.

PEBBLES, rather curious: Do tell.

BAMM-BAMM: Considering where my own strength could easily be a curse, especially after all this time in school (and the likelihood of getting all manner of demands for displays of said strength), I keep it discreet.

PEBBLES: How exactly?

BAMM-BAMM: You'll never guess.

PEBBLES: Lifting weights in the back rooms?

BAMM-BAMM: Not quite. [Pause] Actually, I go underwater into a pond just out of town once or twice a week and simulate weight lifting underwater. It's basically doing pullups underwater. Naked.

PEBBLES: I just hope it's not too shocking.

BAMM-BAMM: Actually, I have to admit that keeping up my strength naked underwater is rather comfortable.

PEBBLES: But then again, don't you get short of breath underwater?

BAMM-BAMM: I hyperventilate before going into the water, making sure I have adequate air supply into the lungs. And I haven't had serious problems yet.
