[PieceofMindmusic]

[nickielvsu]

You have to just jump... trying to work your way into it = not going to happen. Jus sayin.

[JanderFamily]

Freakin LOVE vlogging underwater. Great shots!

[cycober]

[denmarcbros]

Great looking pool guys!

[jakeanddar]

Why don't get a thermometer you can hang down into your pool to let you and us know the temperature when go for a swim.

[Reddylion]

[justmy10cents]

i think you planed this darren now you can go inside and slip into bed naked with that awsome hottie wife of yours get all hot an sweaty good one

[DrSidPalp]

Looks fun but too cold for me. The underwater camera certainly makes a difference.

[R0ccojas0n]

lmfao! just as she was about to jump in...the vid had the *loading* occuring...and it looked like katie was just doing a gigantic cheer cause her favorite sportsteam won lol

[isaiddevilyoulied]

Haven't been on in some time, I really enjoyed this video! You guys are pretty brave to jump into cold water! I can't even jump into cold water in the summer (I have to get used to it first)

[tommmmmmmmx]

btw the vid is my first that i posted

[familyklok]

hahahaha darren when you jumped into that pool im srry but that was hilarious!

[BeRkStAh]

If it's deep enough Darren you should go one higher and jump off the roof.. XD that'd be an awesome viral video! Just don't turn it into a fail blog :P

[gamestudiosnz]

its to cold to swim lol well it is over here ;D

[EliteOGx]

that was the biggest tarty reaction to a jmup in a pool ever! i junmped in a lake in texas and when u was about 5 deet down it was like 5 oc and it scared the shit out of me but i didnt makes noises like that! lol :D

[corbinnunnally]

lol i keep forgeting its winter there..lol yeah must have been cold! lol the polar bear plunge alot of people do that.. i wouldnt

[FlashFizz]

People do "polar bear plunges" anywhere they have icy winters. Northern U.S., Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, etc.

[AnnyaMoon]

I remember when you movied in and I seen the pool area fom above when pete was with ya. Its cool to see now and underwater!

[Knightyme]

That looked, refreshing. hehe. Even i feel refreshed after that dip. Pebbles looked good.

I think it is the Danish that do the Sauna / Ice thing. Could be wrong on that. hehe.

Thanks for taking us for a swim.

[juiicyxoprincess]

Looks so refreshing! Id jump right in haha!

[sinner48]

the pool look great very nice.

[MsChopperdog]

Wow, what a life, going for a morning swim, with the ocean and the mountain as a backdrop ! It looks so lovely :)

[OceanTownPictures]

Darren, your first jump into the pool was hilarious! loved the scream! ha ha  Are you going to build a railing around the outside edge of the pool? It looks like someone could get hurt if they rolled down the hill towards the pumps. -Steve-

[BENJEDA]

and on a side note........you have dead cet the best house!

[BENJEDA]

Hey Darren, where did you get your water proof case for your flip from again?

cause I forget where you said you got it? and I need to get one for some projects i'm gonna start working on pretty soon cause i'm geting my mac in like.......3ish weeks, can't wait!!!

[ThatAussieFamily]

@BENJEDA - I got it for my Flip Ultra HD which is not the camera I use all the time... You will find them on eBay, but you need a Flip Ultra HD.

[BENJEDA]

@ThatAussieFamily ughh that sux, i've only got a mino/

thanks anyway man

[Aussiegirl265]

WOAAHH your pool is MASSIVE!! You could have a few hard core training sessions in there, get some butterfly stroke in lololol :D

Btw I love the underwater camera scenes- it's so cool!!

[TheAddictiveBreed]

Great vid Darren and Katie, love the way you chuck the camera around in the pool... The pool looks great and nice work diving in the first time Darren and keeping the camera on you the whole time lol, a true master vlogger.. BTW your winter looks better thean ours.

[mo0ks666]

katie.. it is in finland that people go from sauna to icy water and back again.. and i should know.. my family is from there ;D saunas are a finnish institution ;D

[ThatAussieFamily]

@mo0ks666 - Thanks.

[katieTAF]

@mo0ks666 - Finland hey? Well there you go... question answered, Thanks! :)

[mo0ks666]

@katieTAF no worries ;D

[youngie73]

Darren, does your pool have a heater?

[ThatAussieFamily]

@youngie73 - Not hooked up yet. :)

[GMPNY]

LOL That was GREAT! Im gonna try to do an underwater vid. I got a waterproof case from Australia last year and Ive not done any real videos. Just snapshots underwater so maybe today if I can get my grandaughter in the pool I will video her! This was great, cold yes but it looked refreshing! The pool is awesome but huge! Thanks for sharing!

[TheGreatAussieMate]

I have Kaila this weekend and she says Thank you so much for returning her Ipod.

[ThatAussieFamily]

@TheGreatAussieMate - Welcome. :)

[TheGreatAussieMate]

@ThatAussieFamily Shes happy having her ipod back as am i as it keeps her quiet on road trips. Talking of trips the next month is going to be very interesting for us. With pums parents coming over on the 12th August we will be showing them Sunshine coast so depending on your movements would be nice to catchup for lunch . And of course the big arrival of the bubs due on the 28th August or there abouts.

[broons316]

your not daft its good for your hart good to see you enjoying yr selves ps what you planing to do to cover the pumps

[ThatAussieFamily]

@broons316 - Timber deck.

[bukroot]

i can't believe you went in the pool when it's that cold! you're so brave, Darren! bet u wished you'd hooked up the hot tub now. lol ur reaction was priceless though. why did you decide to swim even though you don't enjoy cold water swims? although i understand you wanting to "test it out". that pool of yours looks amazing!!

[Rellish61]

Oh Darren I nearly wet myself when you jumped in and came out like freaking out....so cold..brrrr....your testies must have been up around ya ears...hahahahahahah....will be soo good in the Summer, and you will need the pool that big for all the people you will have there using it :) You and Katie are very Brave...  :)

[ThatAussieFamily]

@Rellish61 - They are just recovering now...

[Jake0007]

There are Polar Bear clubs here in the states where groups jump into a frozen lake, after clearing a bit of ice. Not sure where that craziness started out though.

[gavin802]

wow katie has great ..............

[ThatAussieFamily]

@gavin802 - This fool just got himself blocked... Good on you dickhead...

[TheBeefybri]

Your pool looks nice. Great for those steaming hot weathers.

[loganaustralia]

dang!!its lookin really good mate that pool n spa..hard work pays off!! =)

[cozzyk]

Have to remember if it's my summer it's your winter so if I ever visit Aussie land I have to go when it's my winter and your summer lol. That in and out of the cold will kill ya ;). Beautiful awakening morning swim.

[DibbersPage]

Hahahaahha you want to come to the UK mate, thats warm for us Poms. H&R to you and the family

[tullochaustralia]

yer Ice Swimming is in Finland oh and its user tulloch09 my youtube account has been disabled untill 13 August 2010 so im just using this account till then so just to let you know who i am

[ThatAussieFamily]

@tullochaustralia - Why was it disabled?

[tullochaustralia]

@ThatAussieFamily i uploaded a music video and it contained slight nudity witch youtube dont like

[09azzman]

the pool and the spa with the little water fountain looks really awesome and it's looking good

[sunsetlover]

goodness... Thanks for taking one for the team. its so hot here its 101F which is 39C all this week.... there is no way ... ok maybe would I jump in the 50 degree water. you should get a temp guage

[AtoZOnlinewealth]

he he . Funny stuff : )

[punkit743]

Darren your face was hilarious, the pool is looking amazing. Some people in Scotland go for a swim on new years day in the Scottish north sea, or local rivers etc. sometimes having to break ice before... they must be bit nuts.

[joeybeavis]

Darren, What camera do you use, And if its a flip cam where did u get case for water?

[punkit743]

@joeybeavis Darren does use a flip with a case for underwater. Cant remember which video he mentioned driving few hours to buy one, before going to Thailand i think.

[joeybeavis]

@punkit743 Hmm, I wonder because I REALLY need an underwater case for my flip cam, Will imp[\roove my vids bigtime!

[ThatAussieFamily]

@joeybeavis - I have a second flip which is a Flip Ultra HD and you can get a case for them...

[joeybeavis]

@ThatAussieFamily Where can you get them, And how much..

[joeybeavis]

That was sweet!

(:

[ArgentineShamrock]

It's summer where I'm at but you two make me feel cold. Pool looks beautiful.

[miles2057]

you guys r brave, is the pool heated? i know it wasn't there.is it a chlorine or salt water pool? in Russia they are known for jumping into icy water as well as several other arctic European countries too.

[ThatAussieFamily]

@miles2057 - The heating is not hooked up yet...

[pokerdogZ]

pool looks really awsome

[Demoniiiic]

After watching this vid ive persuaded myself to finish my work so i can finish high school. I want a job and money to have a pool!!!

[joannenclayton]

Absolutely fantastic looking pool......finally you got to use it! We love the under water camera.....it works quite well when you dive into the pool Darren :)

P.S

Did you receive our message on your Skype account?

[ThatAussieFamily]

@joannenclayton - I have not used the ThatAussieFamily skype for some time... I nly use it when we are live... :)

[joannenclayton]

@ThatAussieFamily Fair enough

[hoopztube]

Darren, you have a nice house, and a great pool, but to me, that first swim did not look enjoyable at all. Should have maybe waited till it warms up a bit! I would of!!! At least then the spa would be warm and you could jump straight into that after being in the cold water.....

[LissTV]

@hoopztube It is probably Hot up there.

But It is Cold ,cold,cold down here.

[Demoniiiic]

The intro music is in my head!!!!

[JB346Aussie]

Hahaha the shallow end. Darren if you went down there I would have been forced to call you a pussy lol. And it's never that bad after you spend about 5-10 min in there. It becomes warm after a while. Once you get out it seems like the air is as cold as the pool.

[LadyLisa513]

How cold does it get there in the winter? I live in Indiana U.S and there is no way we could swim in the winter unless it's and indoor pool. love the veiw you have it's so pretty. hope your swim was good.

[hoopztube]

@LadyLisa513 Not as cold there in lovely sunny QLD as it is in Sydney! I still got the cover on my pool, and even the algae won't grow its that cold!
