“Just Keep Swimming… swimming… swimming…” June 21, 2010


Today we went swimming! We gave in and finally got our passes to the local YMCA. I absolutely love swimming! I use to swim competitively in high school and coached a little in college, but nothing compares to just swimming, enjoying the water and worrying about nothing. Honestly, I feel very out of shape; but I guess that just gives me something to work on. I really enjoyed it all. My husband wanted to do a little aerobics in the pool in the mornings to help with the joint issues he has. He walked around in the pool while I swam. My workout consisted of the following:

75 -Warm-up
100- IM Modified (No Fly–I rather stink at this when I am in shape and I rather just avoid it.)–Free, Breast, Back, and Freestyle again.
4×25- Freestyle
2×50- Kick Set
100- Cool Down

Not a very good workout, but I’ll plan it better next time. I then went over to help teach my husband some techniques in swimming. He really wants to learn the freestyle, however, he keeps getting water up in his nasal cavity, which is getting a bit annoying to him. I have tried to tell him how to keep it out or rather how I keep water from going in my nose, but none of these strategies have worked very well for him. I do believe these have frustrated him more so. Despite the difficulties, I do believe we both got a lot out of this and had a lot of fun. I surely feel it, but that’s a good thing after all. I hope you all are doing well and have a lovely day!
