Originally I was gonna take another general pick here and step on a few peoples toes, but I decided against that as I'm hopefully gonna avoid doing that to others.
Anyway, on to the pick:
Swimming
They say swimming is perhaps the best exercise you can do. It's also a lot of fun
.Of course this isn't the pool I'd be taking. Mine would have big water slides and diving boards, as well as basketball nets, volleyball nets etc. to play with a blow-up ball (in the water obviously).
And clothing is of course optional

Teaming this up with the first pick you made is a good choice. However the electricity pick is worrisome - keep it far away from the water, OK?

Haha I assure you the only electricity used anywhere near the pool is for lighting for 24hr swimming
.
I have two sports type picks, I better get at least one now while the run is on.
Bicycles
Bikes, cycling and bike culture. All kinds, even those annoying fixters. Bikes have been a pretty major part of my life for over 30 years. From my first little red Schwinn 16" bike with plastic tires, through a number of crappy Huffy BMX bikes until I finally got a Raleigh and a Torker freestyler similar to the one below.
When I went to boarding school in 1988 I got my first mountain bike, a yellow RockHopper. This gave me many moments of happiness in what was a pretty miserable year. I put the RockHopper away for a while when I got my license but when I went off to college in Boston a car wasn't really an option (a parking spot in my neighborhood recently sold for a quarter million, thankfully they were only about 50 grand when I lived there) so I bought a few more BMX bikes. It was bikes that brought me back to California for an industry job. Perhaps the constant sun in Santa Barbara made me jaded and I started driving more frequently but when I moved to LA I was back on the bike daily, only now the BMX bikes had been traded for an Electra Cruiser styled like a 50s hot rod.
My house in Portland is on a volcano and I work on another hill so I have recently shifted away from the heavy cruiser to this Giant.
I can't imagine my life without bikes and now I don't have to. My first taste of freedom, the best way to explore a new town, hundreds of friendships and years of fun.

Yo D-Mass If I went snowboarding today on a snowboard I bought in 1996 would I look like a moron?
I know that ski technology has changed a ton and you will get laughed at if you don't have the new skis. Curious about snowboarding.

Brick can still play tennis, I can still play basketball, etc...
I also picked science, but I'm perfectly fine with someone picking astronomy, biology, etc. It comes with the territory when you pick something so general.
Even if broad picks eliminated the specific stuff (which they don't) I'd be perfectly content to bike inside if that was all I was allowed to do. Plenty of indoor velodromes and skate parks

It's cool. It's throwbacks. Anyone even thinking of laughing at my 90's Rossignols will have to taste them.

My board is from the late 90's...it's all good. I love my board!
(18 hour clock).
Next up, the best fruit ever: Cherries.
Yum!

Sometimes you need time to unwind. Considering my next pick I might need some.

And for my next pick, some fun television...
Mystery Science Theater 3000
What could be better than 10 seasons of robots making fun of bad movies?
(BTW, no disrepect intended to early host Joel, but I didn't want to put up too many images...)

Well, this will be the first time and probably the last time I go extremely general, and trust me - I HATE going this general....but I have to make this pick.
I love being clean, feeling clean and smelling good. Therefore my next pick is..
Hygiene Products
Shampoo, Hand sanitizer, mouth wash, cologne, soap, toothpaste, floss... anything that helps you keep good personal hygiene - I'm picking here.

Next up:
PING PONG
I can have as much fun playing a round of ping pong with a good friend as I can with just about any other sport. I used to play like crazy in the dorms at UCSB as a freshman...I guess I didn't have anything better to do. In my first year as a classroom teacher in SB, I had a huge room...so I took my ping pong table to school, kept it folded in the corner, and after our work day was over, teachers would congregate in my room for ping pong. It was a great stress reliever...I love it to this day.

I'll get my second sporting selection out of the way now.
Playground Sports
Kickball, Dodgeball, Four Square, Flag Football, HORSE (or BASEketball). Why play the real games when you can play the kids versions. As adults. Except now you're a million times smarter and actually get things like strategy instead of trying to be the hero on every play. And when you're done you drink lots of beer and hit on the opposite sex instead of returning to class. All is good until one of two things happen: The inevitable influx of college athletes seeking to return back to their glory days and you back to playground weakling or a sudden unexplainable influx of lawyers who seek to manipulate every single rule or lack thereof to their advantage. Thankfully I don't plan on drafting either.

This is one of those things that I have no idea where to take it. But here seems like a good spot.
Card Games
I love card games, and I know how to play a ton of them. I can play regular games with the girls (poker, crazy eights, cribbage, etc) , I can play solitaire (I know about 10 different ways to play it), and I can also play some great drinking games. I'm never bored if there's a deck of cards around.

Since atx still owes a make-up pick on his last turn, he doesn't get a new clock. It's all you.

I always loved dodgeball as a kid...probably largely because I had the perfect combination of athletic talent and shrugworthy at best popularity to really excel at it. While everybody was beaning their friends or the really unpopular types, I could almost always skate through to the very end without anybody seriously attemping to take me out until it was too late.

Before my next pick, after Bozz's last pick I need to know once and for all whether we are on islands here? I have a short column of clever marooned on an island picks but have been ignoring them in favor of more generalized stuff.

I saw nothing in the original "rules" that said we were on islands. I've been drafting things without an island in mind.
