As you may have guessed by now, I love to swim. It’s not because I’m a great swimmer, because while I can do a good breast stroke and a surprisingly decent side stroke (surprising because who the hell ever needs a side stroke?), I’m not a strong swimmer by any means.
Still, I love to be in the water. Maybe it’s astrological – I’m a Cancer, I’m happiest in or near water.
I just went out and stuck my toe in my friends’ pool and it’s pretty chilly and it’s getting later now (almost 7:30 pm) so it’s probably not going to get much warmer any time soon.
But I’ll probably go in just because Breanna’s too small to go in without me, even with the life jacket. So…
The only things that really keep me out of a pool:
1. Water that is below 75F. Yesterday just made the cut at 76F.
2. A thunderstorm. For obvious reasons.
3. Ummm… Oh, I know! Not having a bathing suit of my own with me or one I can borrow.
4. I don’t know, drunkeness making it dangerous?
Yeah, so not much will keep me out of a pool!
I love swimming too! And not much keeps me out either :). BTW, I’m so glad you’re doing this again! Rock on!!
We went to the pool earlier today and it took me a little while to get used to the water but it was fun. I used to hate going because of the other people but I’ve been getting better at not being bothered to share the space. 🙂
