Rec swimmers

Good morning to all and welcome back from four days off. Some of us went to the pool on Saturday (a lot of us, actually!) to help our friends like E who are training for the meet. Going to the pool on a weekend only reinforces how lucky we are to swim masters. Let's be honest here. Rec swimming is as hazardous as riding your bike on a bike path on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. If you can't commandeer a lane, you are in big trouble. I don't want to sound uppity at all, but we all know how challenging it can be. First it's the evil glance you get when you ask if you can either split a lane or - God forbid - circle swim. Then there's Carmen's favorite - the "I just want to chat the whole time" swimmer. Worst of all, it's the swimmer who decides they want to "race" you while you are doing a warmup. The whole thing gets really wacky when we go long course and everyone has to circle swim. Anywho, it was great to be back this morning after indulging for four days.
