The other day I told Will “I think I was a manatee in another life.” He thought that was hilarious. I am not a graceful swimmer, especially now after not really doing any swimming since college but I have always loved the water. I am very happy to say I have finally found a place to swim.
If only Georgie would swim with us, she will only go about chest deep at the beach.
In high school and college I did swim for PE, as well as some Water Polo. I never competed though because I couldn’t get to 5 am practices that the team went to, so I just stuck to classes. Class was basically the second practice of the day for the team so I still got my ass kicked. I have missed that ass kicking.
My workout for the moment is based mainly on doing as many laps as I can for 45-60 min. My form is all messed up and so mostly I have been doing freestyle/crawl laps alternated with different drills to get get my backstroke, breaststroke and Butterfly(flop) back in shape. I am also very pleased to report that despite all his kettlebell swinging ways I can swim much longer then Will can.
So at least 3 times a week you can find me down at the pool, I am easy to find, I am the one with the best looking swim cap.
