The Pool

Few swimmers in the pool
Since I injured my shoulder a month ago, I’ve been swimming only once, the day after the injury. Today I decided to try it out.

The adult pool really is just for adults. I couldn’t believe, however, that there is no area at all where a poor swimmer might feel comfortable. The entire pool is between six and eight feet deep, with access and exit only by ladder or over the side. Very dangerous, but I loved it.

It’s a salt water pool so the other swimmer and I were both very buoyant. Breast stroke didn’t hurt at all; front crawl was too hard on the shoulder; back stroke felt pretty good. I’m a long way from being back to 36 laps but I think I’m on the mend!

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
