Oh, swimming pool, I have missed you. I didn't even realize how much, or that I even did. I love everything you give to me, and am looking forward to taking advantage of it all.
I missed the way my arms felt tired for the rest of the day. I missed how tall I feel in the water. I missed the way my body would glide through the water. I missed the weightlessness. I missed my swim cap and goggles. I missed the little dent my goggles left on the bridge of my nose. I missed the paddles that made my arms extra tired. I missed the kickboard. I missed the pull-bouys. I even missed the way I could constantly smell chlorine in my hair.
Now I am experiencing it all over again. My body remembers everything, so that means I get to skip the "new swimmer" soreness. I get to jump in and swim a couple thousand yards a day right off the bat. It's going to take some time to re-adjust, but I've loved every yard I've done this week! I get to push harder sooner than I would have thought.
Oh, swimming pool, I'm glad we're friends again!
