What's your notion of the perfect vacation? For many people, it's spending days on the pool, listening to the splash waves pounding on the water. And if you're a swimming pool-lover, sooner or later you'll find yourself somewhere where Filipino is spoken. Pools are awesome! What could be better than a dip in the pool and fun in the sun? But remember the pool's sides and bottom are usually made of concrete, and rock-hard materials. A slip or fall could be painful and dangerous. So, we have to be very careful. Splashing, wading, and paddling — it must mean a great day in the water. Playing at the beach, at a water park, by a lake, or in a pool can be a real treat on a hot day.

The place represents the beauty of nature...hey, my name is J-han. I used to spend my holidays on the swimming pool. There is a beautiful pool in my hometown. It takes approximately 2 hours from the rural area by car to reach it. I used to go there with my family and sometimes with my friends also. By all accounts, swimming is a lot of fun, but drowning is a real danger. Even kids like me and my sister who know how to swim can drown so, let's be careful and find out how to stay safe in the water.

According to research study, cold winters and cool summers caused by the air masses result in extreme temperature variations and a low energy budget for the plant communities found here. Most of the precipitation occurs during warm months, and the air and soils are moist in comparison to the non-forested landscapes. Soils that have developed from glacial till and loess now thinly overlay the Philippine shield. Species that succeed in this environment have adaptations that economize on energy--both temperature and sunlight--and on nutrient requirements. This adaptation avoids the necessity for producing a full crop of new leaves every spring, and it also allows photosynthesis for extended periods of the year. Species that occur in the boreal hardwoods, such as trembling aspen, balsam poplar and paper birch, have special adaptations to withstand temperatures below -30° Fahrenheit.

Further research study said that the canopy layer of a forest community may be seen as being the primary buffer between atmospheric conditions and the communities below; it bears the brunt of wind and temperature extremes, and is the first beneficiary of sunlight. Forest pine canopies may be dominated by coniferous, deciduous, or mixed coniferous-hardwood species. forest pine communities are characteristic of the cold area. After a disturbance in the coniferous forest, such as logging or burning, the canopy opening favors deciduous species, with their higher rates of photosynthesis. Aspen and paper birch pioneer such areas, and they may in turn be followed by mixed hardwood and coniferous trees in a zone of intergrading communities. Pine hardwood stands of basswood, yellow birch, and associated species develop on mesic uplands. On drier sites in the south and west portions of the forest, pine communities are more common.

In addition to the research, beneath the canopy layer, shrubs vary locally in density. Seedlings and saplings of canopy pine trees bide their time in the shade; when a canopy tree falls, these young trees inherit the sunlight they need to succeed to canopy status themselves. Shrub-level species include beaked hazel, mountain maple, honeysuckle, and dogwood, along with others associated with specific soils and canopies. Variation of shrub density within the forest significantly affects the habitat and diversity of animal species.
