12 March 2010: Swimming

2100 yards: 1800 free, 200 back 50 breast and 50 fly. Tonight was the first time we swam in the lap pool and the first time I did more than 2000. :-). They Club heated up the lap pool so that it was warm enough to swim in while they finish re-coating the deck around the big pool. The water in the lap pool is much cleaner and the lights are much brighter. Also, there are backstroke flags so that I don't have to do a crash test to find the end of the lane. :-(.

I am going to try to get more than 5000 this weekend. This is the last weekend before the Club starts the Friday night BBQs. The pool is the main attraction for the BBQs, it's totally full and kids are doing cannonballs all night. There are 3 cover bands that rotate (Roadhouse and Tumbing Dice are two of the bands). And the pool and hot tub are a mess after the BBQ is over.

We finished just in the nick of time tonight....Breather did his first lap just as we were getting out. Breather doesn't put his face in the water and makes this whining sound all the time he is swimming. Annoying!!!!.

After swimming we went home and had burritos. :-).

  1. In the lap pool at night when one is swimming backstroke there is Mars overhead, glowing yellowish red next to Gemini as the winter hexagon sets in the western sky on its way out for this year -- celestial swimming!
