Getting Hooked on Swimming

My gym has a pool, and it felt like a waste to have a membership and never swim a few laps.

So off I went. After three lessons with a coach, I've basically got the breaststroke down — though my form is still far from textbook.

But that's not the point. The point is I can now swim across the pool and back. It's so damn fun. Hahaha.

These days, every time I get in the water my whole body just relaxes, and my mind goes completely blank. All I have to do is swim, or just float.

Now that I've learned the basics, next up is working on my stroke, my form, and my speed. I'm going at least once a week at this point.

The best part is the shower right after swimming — that's the real bliss. But that split second when you climb out of the pool and gravity hits you again...
