Four months and counting (down) till the Triathlon.
Four months (minus 5 days).
And it's been over 20 years since I did laps in a pool.
Till today.
I joined the "Evening Swim" group at my local High School. Me, and about 8 other folks braved the 30-degree temps outside to get into the pool (indoors) and splash around for an hour. The program's been going for about a month, but I just learned about it last week while searching for an inexpensive place to get some laps in before July. This place is perfect. No frills and LOW cost.
I went into tonight's workout without a plan, per se. I just wanted to get in the water and see if I could keep myself afloat.
Can I still swim? Yes!
Am I good at it? Kinda! (pleasantly surprised)
I have a book on order with some drills in it that I'll use once it arrives. I'm looking forward to that, to add a little more structure to the water workouts. But so far, I'm happy with where I stand. It's a good baseline to work off of.
Oh... and I just realized I left my wet suit in my gym bag. Gotta go!

That's awesome that you're brave enough to hit the pool after so many years -- and in the cold weather. I used to take my kids to open swim at a local college, but other kids were way too wild, so unfortunately, we gave it up.
I can't wait for warm temps to get back to our lake for a dip.
