> For sometime I did swim and swim and swim. That became tedious, partially because the indoor pool was under fluorescents and was built in the 60's maybe, with a sort of dread and claustrophobia only felt in old school gymnasiums. And then the back started to go....
Yeah. I feel sad that it's kind of boring watching the line on the bottom of the pool, but it kind of is.
> I bet you'll swim really well because you seem to know how to physically focus. Just from the impression I've gotten from your posts over the years, and that you seem to enjoy a challenge.
Haha. Well, yeah, I guess. I do like to train by myself so I can focus better. Most people are more socially focused, yeah. But I am gaining an appreciation of how many years of how much work goes into it.
> Right now I mostly laze about, doing a little breast or side stroke. Back stroke too. I never was able to do the dolphin kick or the butterfly.
> Is the ocean near you warmish? Here it's always like ice. My legs would be numb when I got out.
The ocean is swimmable, here, in the summer. The triathalon and even surf lifesaving people seem to be swimming in the indoor pool now, though. Only the hardiest of surfers out there, now, with full wetsuits with hood an boots. arctic breezes.
whereish are you?
