New posts in the (very long) original "Swim happy" thread is taking a long time to load up , so I am starting a new thread for this year. This is the place to post whatever makes you happy in the pool! Share your joys and accomplishments here.

Great idea! New thread for the new swim year especially now that so many more people have pools opening and can swim again. Here's what I posted in the old thread, sharing here to share the happiness.

Hello all!
It's been a while since I posted anything (old forum name was Zwemmer) but I wanted to check in and reconnect with people here.
To recap: swam high school and college, took 32+ years off and returned to the pool in summer 2018 swimming with Palmetto Masters in Charleston, South Carolina. This year was crazy as I moved from SC to Colorado Springs and after two months of almost no training (moving is fun! ha!) just started swimming with Pikes Peak Masters on June 1st. Getting used to the altitude and enjoying a great pool & team.
Posting all this here for the reasons already mentioned and to also say how happy I am to be in Colorado, to be swimming, and to be once again inspired by all the Olympic Trials swimming goin on. And very much looking forward to getting in shape to go to USMS Nationals next year and breaking some records. Last year saw me get 7 USMS All American awards in the 55-59 age group and to be FINA world-ranked in 6 SCM events.
