Have you ever noticed that the older you get, the more perfect everything has to be for a good swim? Not a "great" swim, just a good swim. The water is too hot, the water is too cold, I got a crick in my back last night while sleeping, my suit is riding up, my favorite people to push me aren't here today, and on and on!! For a truly great swim, I think I have begun to believe in Biorhythms. Ever heard of them? www.facade.com/.../
I'll do okay if my physical is on the bottom, but if my emotions are on the bottom, forget it -- I'm talking meets, workout, whatever! Anyways, just wondering, how perfect do all the conditions have to be for you to have a good/great swim? :bliss:
Ana - you're right - it is such a luxury! I am SO grateful to be living in this era - not only with swimming pools - but with pools with aerators (sp?) and thermal cooling pumps! When I travel and I find a pool - no matter how hot or crazy shaped it is, it's always a joy to be able to jump in, isn't it!! One time I was traveling and had been without my daily dose of swimming for about 3 weeks - we found this high school pool in northern Utah, and as we entered the building I could smell the chlorine from several yards away - didn't even know which direction to turn yet, but I could smell the chlorine - and it was like pure ecstacy! :)
