any similarities?

the first thing i thought of when i saw AJ doing this....

was my distant memory from a National Geographic show, as seen here:

any similarities?  do you agree?
cracks me up every time....and, strangely, this has become AJ's favourite form of exercise.  doesn't seem to matter that the water is just hitting 50 degrees, or that his little feet obviously ache after a few laps, because he dries them off, we ask him if he's done, he says "again" and then heads back out onto the safety cover to run some more.  highly entertaining.  either that, or i don't get out much.  okay, maybe both....
