I was thinking today about a lot of things (class is over and I only work part-time so I have A LOT of free time :)) and I started to think about my swimming. Why I had started back, why I was doing it now, and what I hoped to someday accomplish with it. So then I began to wonder why every one here swam? What is your reason for dragging yourself out of bed every morning? What made you decide to come back after all those years off (if in fact you did take years off)? Is it for fitness, for fun, or some other reason? Just curious!
I have always been involved in sports growing up and when I finished college it occured to me that there were no more sports I could be involved with. I tried an adult ultimate frisbee team, but it didn't do anything for me. I had started lap swimming in college with a friend who swam in high school and really enjoyed it so I kept doing that..
Then I found masters in St. Pete Florida and realized my competitiveness is not gone, and I'm certainly not done with sports! I had done many sports and had become pretty good at a few but not really great at any one because I never put too much effort into them. Now i'm ready to give my best and see what I can do!
I LOVE the feel of my body moving through water it feels silky ;)
I love jumping into the water initially and anticipating the workout.
I love the feeling I get after a good tough workout.
After awhile of not being in the water I start craving it. It's like my body needs to be immersed in water regularly or it'll dry up!
I take lots of baths during the winter! lol...
Swimming rocks!
