If You Run, You Are A Runner...If You Swim Are You A Swimmer?

Today, I swam!!! I did the breaststroke because that is what I am most comfortable with in the pool. I talked to the lifeguard~Devan~and requested that he not let me drown. He said he wouldn't and that he would watch me. I was grateful for his response. 😚😚

I swam up and down a total of eight times. I stopped when I got tired, because I am 5'9 and can stand in the pool. I caught my breath and kept moving. I talked to Devan and he gave great advice...Who are you racing? Take your time. You have a great stroke. You are rushing your breathing. Last lap, well you accomplished your goal. You have done more than most, the laps will come. See you tomorrow or Wednesday. You know your arms are going to hurt. You are welcome...

I had the same peace about me that I have when I run. My goal to swim 30 minutes straight with no chaser.
