Hmm, after all the great feedback and working very hard (and succeeding!) for last three weeks to get my sad brain to shut up and my body to get into the pool, I fell and broke my hand. :shakeshead:
So now my question is, has anyone ever swum in a waterproof cast (doctor said it was a possibility once I'm a little bit healed)? I've asked a few people and have been advised against it, in that they say these casts begin to reek quite quickly (I'm assuming that at least for a few weeks I won't be able to take it on/off).
Perhaps this will be my opportunity to cross-train extensively.... Take up ballet again.... Shoot! is all I can say. Four to eight weeks of cast-ville.
Advice re waterproof casts? (I did search here but nothing popped up.)

I had a waterproof cast way way back in the late 70s and it was fine for swimming. It didn't get funky and was very lightweight. The particular day was the end of my skateboarding career.
