Thats so sweet of you! Laineybug is the nickname my family gave me when I was a little girl. Family still calls me Laineybug or Elaine. Most everyone else calls me Lainey. But I answer to most anything. Tell Lainey the other Lainey wishs her a happy healthy life.

Don't worry Tracy! Long course season is starting!!!....less walls to run into!

Swimming along...the flow of the water as it passes your ears... the feel of the water slipping around your hands... WHAM! OOPS forgot to flip at the wall!:D Hate when I do that:D

Shhhhhhhhh!!!! Quiet!!!! The walls have ears!!!!!!:D They'll hear us!!!

Walls may drive me to do open water swims! Less walls - of course there are bridges, boats, piers, driftwood....
