On the Swim Rant thread, I suggested “If you want to be surrounded by happy swimmers try the “Swim Kumbaya” thread.” It was mentioned on a lark, but on further review, Masters Swimming has been so tremendously uplifting to me that it makes sense to share some of these…
So my first Swim Kumbaya goes out to Mike Heather – a friend (and fellow wide body) I’ve met through swimming who continues to challenge me to be my best in the pool and in volunteerism to Masters Swimming.
Kumbaya Dude:D
So in the midst of this midwest sprinkle of snow - the school district shut down the two pools which my swim team swims at (the two high schools in the district).
So - my team organized swim practices at the local fitness center. Its a 25 Meter pool - salt water, 3.5' deep. As far as practices go - you couldn't swim in a slower pool. Its also only 4 lanes. So we had to swim in one hour shifts (SUPER narrow lane lines). We ended up just having 2 shifts - but it was still very awesome to see so much dedication that people would rearrange out of the norm to make this happen.
Oh P.S. - this is my 1 year + 2 day anniversary with the USMS today.
