Out of curiosity, what brought you to swim?
I'm a fitness swimmer now and do OW races for fun. I began swimming as an alternative to running, I had taken a swim class in college that demonstrated routines and corrected my form enough to do well without getting frustrated or feel intimidated. When I had trouble running I would go swim instead. I began swimming regularly to train for the Long beach triathlon years ago. Now I enjoy swimming just as much as running...it's a new challenge as well as a great stress release for me. I'm just finishing up my credential and will be transitioning from a career in IT to teaching, which means that i'll be open to joining a masters team soon! Wohoo!
Here's the question....
Why did you start?
When?
What's your day job?
My earliest memory is of splashing in my 1 ring blow up pool in the AZ heat when I was 3. Learned to swim in NY at 6. At 11 we moved back to CA and the neighborhood had a swimteam. Did not even need think about joining, it was natural. Swam summer league and high school in CA and NM. Always loved it. Speed up 25 years and a masters program opened up 5 miles from my house in TX. Again no thinking about it, joining was spontaneous and I am in my third year of masters! :fish2:
