It is pretty cool how they have that splash pool there for training. As my husband pointed out, it's so they can train year-round.

The water in the pool bubbles up as the skier is about to go in. I'm assuming it's to soften the landing in the water. Pretty neat!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-36784511998407098342012-08-05T12:06:52.735-07:002012-08-05T12:06:52.735-07:00As surprised as everyone else!

Maybe the assurance of a safe splash in the pool helps.
