Swim happy

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:
  • Thanks, Michael and Peter! Hey, happy swimmerversary to you, too, Michael! :D :bliss: Peter, I'll look forward to meeting you at Auburn! :banana: I see you're swimming breaststroke events, as well, so I'll keep an eye out for you there. You know what I look like, so look for me, too! (If I already have my suit and cap on, it's a royal blue silicone cap, clear lens Tyr goggles, and a red, white, and blue Speedo.) Happy taper!
  • Yes, it's true... I like swimming *** stroke. I'm easy to find... I'll be the one swimming 200 backstroke w/ a paper bag on my head :). When I'm not swimming, I'm usually wearing black warm-up pants and a blue/red Barcelona soccer jersey. In the pool, I'll be wearing a blue pin-striped jammer and a silver cap.

Sounds like someone should get a forumite t-shirt....

A breaststroker with a slower backstroke- hmmmm; that sure sounds familiar to me! :blush: There are several of us who feel that way about our backstroke and have the slower times to prove it! Don't feel bad; you're not alone! :bighug: Thanks for the tip-off; I'll look for you on deck!
  • Sounds like someone should get a forumite t-shirt.... I'll be wearing mine! :banana: Speaking of Forumite t-shirt, any chance I can get you to make the Top 10 list on back of the shirt larger, so others can read it without a magnifying glass? :D I'll buy another one if you do it! :agree:
  • Today is my 1st anniversary as a USMS member! :bliss:I celebrated it with a taper swim, in preparation for this weekend's meet at Auburn. Goooooo GAJA!!! :cheerleader:

  • Happy anniversary! Taper swims are always happy swims. Today will be my last taper day if the snow clears up enough. Tomorrow morning, I'm headed to Auburn. Can't wait!

    So after all the ice and snow of last week, I managed Sun, Tue, Thurs and Sat in the pool. GTD is happy, I'm happy, and I might even get a swim in next weekend too :D Also I'm beginning to feel the benefit of my endurance sets and re-learning to descend 100s :banana:

    I swam in my very first Master's meet today! I went a 3:03.23 on my 200 back, and it was my first time swimming it, ever. more importantly, everyone was so so nice! I love it!
