So… what should you do? Hearing exams aren’t like those days in college or high school where you’d have to pull an […]
You’ve got a lively summer planned. Plenty of beach time and lots of swimming for sure. You’ll enjoy some live entertainment, you’ll get plenty of exercise jogging or possibly playing some tennis, then it’s time to hit the grill. Your schedule will be quite full.

You love swimming and are all about going into the water. The pool is like your second home (when you were younger, everybody said you were part fish–that’s how regularly you wanted to swim).
