Today was the last day of the season for our neighborhood (outdoor) pool. We’ve lived in the area since 2000 and I’ve never used the pool more than a dozen times in a single year. Most years, it’s been less than five times. Most years it’s been zero. At any rate, I told myself: “Once I’ve retired, I’m going to use the pool.” Well, this year I’ve been 94 times and only once was for less than an hour. The vast majority of times I’ve only been treading water for the hour and then (maybe) doing a few lengths to stretch out at the end. The last month, I’ve done breast stroke for the hour – almost exclusively. I must admit I’ve really enjoyed both the treading and the breast stroke. And now I’m looking forward to next year and hoping for a mild spring so the pool can open in early / mid-May… Maybe next year I’ll learn how to free-style… | |
