It was years before my parents, who both did not swim, figured out that I&#39;d been scamming the babysitters with tales of headaches and tummy troubles. Who knew that all these years later, I&#39;d be an addicted open water swimmer! Haven&#39;t been back to that area in years, but was always a Fleets Cove girl myself.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272101?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 28 Aug 2015 10:19:13 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b8b0d3b3-6dbb-436e-a3c4-edbd8e54997fflystormsWow, that water is like glass. That kid has a really nice stroke and wow, the kicking. It&#39;s inspiring me to work on the kick more. Was that a race or a fun OW event?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272103?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 28 Aug 2015 07:18:40 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4b411419-2646-43da-9401-445d90e8f62ertoddJust a typical weekend morning. Sometimes only half a dozen, but usually much more. All speeds and abilities just soaking up the OW experience.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
