"I" LOVE SWIMMING

I know. I know. Another post about swimming. Someday the excitement will wear off, but for now here's another one. I honestly can't remember if I started swimming laps two weeks ago or just one, but I'm glad I did. It's amazing how quickly you can improve going three times a week for 30 minutes. I vividly remember day one. In my head I thought, "This can't be that bad. I used to do this a LOOONG time ago." Well it kicked my booty. One 25 meter lap and I was wondering why anyone decided that swimming might be a good idea. I thought I had a better chance of drowning than anything.

Well a couple of weeks later with drying out hair to prove it (I made my first oh-so-sexy-swim-cap purchase today), I think I'm falling in love. I love how it is working out without feeling like it. I like how until October or it gets cold, I get to swim outside. I love how you get to kind of get to know people because there are always more people than lanes so sharing is inevitable. I even remet one of our students that is involved with us about 25 minutes into swimming in the same lane. Plus the number of people going to swim is a much smaller percentage than the gereneral rec so I have a good chance of seeing the same people over and over again. I love how swimming in the same lane as someone pushes you to go farther as you try to pace yourself with them. Thus far only twice have I been the faster more continual swimmer, so it's been helpful to me. I love how it is relaxing.

I've often had the thought of "I wonder how many things in this world I love, I just have never tried them so don't know I love them." Well check to realizing swimming is on that list.
