Christie put on a very leggy display as she stretched out her long, slender pins while perching on a rock for the photo.

The star held on to her flippers and snorkelling equipment as she posed up a storm, while her wet, blonde tresses hung down her back.

Christie clearly had the best time in the water as she flashed a huge smile for the camera.

Captioning her post, the actress also detailed how the swimming had affected her hip, following her hip replacement surgery over Thanksgiving, less than two months ago.

She penned: ‘I found swimming to be great rehab for my hip! Def the most fun too! 

‘I kept the scar covered from the sun for better healing, but one of the band -aids fell off. I wish I could start everyday with a snorkel! Hope you are all diving into a beautiful day!’  

Christie revealed her surgery news on Instagram earlier this month, after a successful procedure, writing: ‘I injured my hip in a back country skiing helicopter crash on a mountaintop in Telluride many years ago. 

‘The pain in my hip got a little bit worse each year. 12 years ago I was told it needed to be replaced but the surgery was daunting ! And I had things to do!’

But with the pandemic, most of her plans over the past year were cancelled, and she decided to bite the bullet.

The National Lampoon’s Vacation actress wrote: ‘I was dancing in my kitchen by New Years Eve and today I put on my long fins and explored the coral reefs propelled by my new hip!’

She’s since been sharing some gorgeous moments from her family trip, with daughter Sailor Lee, 22, her boyfriend Ben Sosne, son Jack Paris, 25, and his girlfriend Nina Agdal, 28.
