So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
I trained with my coach today and beat him on three of our four 25yd backstroke sprints. :ohyeah:It was the first time I had ever won anything against him. Granted, he is a distance swimmer and backstroke is his worst stroke, BUT, he recently declared me a distance swimmer and backstroke is also my worst stroke! (And, no, he didn't let me win; I even asked him that!)
So, after our workout, I thanked him for his coaching and told him he taught me just about everything I know about backstroke. He replied, "I hate losing to a girl. But, if I had to lose to a girl, I'm glad it was you!" :bighug:
