What is the craziest thing you do to get your swims in? Here is mine: I work tonight from 7 pm to 5 am, THEN I head to the pool for an hour and 15 minutes of swimming. Granted its not the highest quality practice in my week, but with working four ten hour shifts every week I have to swim somewhere during my work week, and that is when it fits in on this shift. My husband just shakes his head says "Whatever honey" as he won't miss me at that hour!

One time about 10 years ago in the winter my health club had a heater problem with the pool. I dipped my foot in (ALWAYS a good idea before plunging in) and it was COLD!!! I went over to where the thermometer was and pulled it up: 58 degrees! I'm one of those people who's very stubborn once I make up my mind and I really wanted to swim. I was feeling brave and decided to give it a shot and swim as long as I could stand it. After wetting myself down thoroughly with the pool water I dove in and instantly felt ALIVE!!! I had the pool to myself and got in close to 50 minutes of laps before I really started tightening up. It was one one my most invigorating workouts I've ever had since I persevered when most would have "thrown in the towel".
