I got back from vacation to find the bubble had been removed from the pool. That’s great news. I absolutely love swimming outdoors. Unfortunately, it means the new summer schedule is in effect; the pool now closes at 9:00 instead of 10:00. The team has switched their schedule as well. They’re now swimming from 7:30 to 9:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I don’t know what that will mean for me in the long run, but I’m guessing it could mean switching to a new team. I don’t think I can be finished with work early enough to get to practice by 7:30, and there’s no sense paying for time wasted. We’ll see how it turns out.

As for this week, I didn’t know the new schedule was in effect, so I showed up to an empty pool at 8:20. It looked like there may have been an age-group swim meet earlier that day. They were taking down tables and chairs around the pool. I figured practice must have been cancelled because of it, but the pool was wide open so I got in and swam. 15 minutes later, Andrea and Jann showed up and swam a bit with me. We only did about 1500 before the pool closed on us (at 9:00), but it was still fun. Jann is really fast, but I learned that she used to swim Butterfly and sprint freestyle for BYU.

The practice hadn’t actually been cancelled; the team was doing dryland exercises inside. I’m sort of glad I missed that.
