It’s absolutely amazing outside today. I wanted to get out there all morning. When I finally got out there, I didn’t want to come back inside. The pool was fairly crowded today. Almost everyone was already sharing lanes when I arrived. I split a lane with a guy that seemed to know what he was doing, but really didn’t. It worked out pretty well though, because two girls got out of a lane two down from us and I got to take it for my own. Swimmers kept coming and going the whole time I was there, but nobody ever asked me if they could split my lane.

The pool is getting pretty gross. There’s all sorts of stuff floating in the water these days. It doesn’t make me happy to think about it. I even saw a band-aid on the bottom today. It made me think I should try swimming at the beach instead. It’s an interesting idea, but I doubt it will happen. It’s just too much work to get myself all the way down there and back again (especially back again when I’m covered in salt and can’t really walk or jog it due to the salt).
