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:
Swam butterfly in a meet for the first time in my life. Not in a masters meet, mind you (that would be too sensible!), but in my uber-competitive Swimming Australia club meet. Coach asked if I had a goal. I gave him a time, with hundredths: the time that would have given me a bronze medal in the 1992 Paralympics. Got it by one second :) Beat 2012 Paralympian Tanya Huebner to the wall in the 50 free, too.
* Note: To put this into context, the 1992 Paralympics Women's 50m butterfly S7 bronze medal time was 51.72. Bronze medal time in London: 36.50. I clearly still have some work to do :)
