Day 18 - New Pool Who Dis?
MY JOURNEY
4/4/20251 min read
We have what...
Sometimes things are sitting right in front of your face.
Today it was more like 5 minutes away from my house.
"Wait we have a community pool?" I ask my wife as we load up in her Volvo.
A few turns later and we're here.
The pool is completely outdoor, something refreshing in comparison to the small indoor pool at our gym.
I get changed and head out towards the water.
It's huge. Well maybe it's not. I have no clue. But in comparison to what I'm used to it's massive.
16 lanes. All open to swim laps for another couple hours.
We dip in and get started.
Today I have a new weapon, training fins.
I struggle at first to get things going, but then find the rhythm of the kicks.
'My Lord I've been doing this wrong' I think to myself as I kick myself from side to side.
Next I work on combining my kicks with breaths.
Finally I combine them all.
I'm struggling for sure, but it's progress.
I get done with the swim and feel exhausted. I guess I forgot to adjust my watch for the 50m lanes.
Looks like I just got extra better today...
