There aren't really any consequences for being late to swim practice. Since we're all adults, the ramifications of being late are purely personal. For me, the first 10 minutes of practice are usually spent talking on the deck, looking at the early birds who jumped in at 6:20, and preparing for the plunge myself. When you're late, you miss all of that, particularly the zen moments where you prepare to get into the cold pool. Instead, I got on deck and everyone was already swimming. So I had to jump right in and I'll admit it was harsh. Perhaps I should take the Joel approach and still spend 10-15 minutes on deck no matter what time I arrive. For the record, he was in before me today. And by the way, late as I was, I still beat coach Bill. :)

This was a hard workout, but fun and interesting. We had a protest today in the lane! E jumped in the pool with a kickboard, fins, paddles, and two pull bouys. She sure showed coach Bill! Of course he immediately made her put them all away when he arrived. But sometimes you just gotta make a point. Only one more day, people, then we are back to using whatever crutch we need to make it through.
