1. You open the door to the pool and get that first whiff of chlorine and think to yourself, "I love the smell of chlorine in the morning!"
2. Your new issue of Swimmer Magazine arrives :bliss: and you immediately sit down and read it cover to cover (including the ads!). But, then, the realization sets in that now you have to wait two months until the NEXT issue arrives.
3. You find yourself counting strokes instead of sheep to fall asleep at night. Then, just when you're about to fall asleep, instead of your leg twitching a little bit, it does a full whip kick :afraid:, and you ride the glide to slumberland... :bed:
Now it's your turn...
For those who haven't responded, I don't want to rub it in, but I DO want to hear from you. I LIKE my thread idea, because it's a positive, fun one, I think. I really would like to hear what you all have to say! :banana:
I love this idea: it's just plain fun and gave me a laugh this morning!
Your main concern regarding eye surgery is how long you'll be out of the pool:
I have been having eye and contact issues as of late and as I have been told in the past that I could have laser surgery I am planning on asking if it is still an option. Some of the reading I have been doing on it though says that swimming should be avoided for a month. While I am at the point where getting it is almost a necessity my first thoughts were: 1. Maybe different types of treatments have a shorter "no swim" period. 2. What exactly is meant by "no swimming?" Does kicking count? Do they consider physically being in a pool swimming or actually having one's face in the water?
You can't wear your contacts and you can't see a blasted thing without them but you go to the pool anyway
You lie to your stylist about how often you swim so she won't lecture you about the lifespan of your highlights
You catch a wiff of chlorine and it brings a smile to your face (either near a pool or part way through a workday on a day that you swam a morning workout)
You are willing to start getting up at 5AM as that is the only time to get more swimming in
