I'm a fish again!

I joined a new gym a week ago, and it's taken that long to get my shit together and get into the pool. Aw man, I forgot how awesome it is to get into a clean, clear pool and do my laps! It's been about 8 months, and this new gym is quite motivating...almost like the one I used to go to when I lived in San Mateo. Great equipment, full amenities, and nothing is overcrowded.

 

Ok, so I didn't do my usual mile and a half...to say the least, my body wasn't going to allow that. But still, 1200 yards is fine for a start. But it was just amazing to glide through the water again, to practice strokes that I've done for years and years...to feel my gills fling open with life! And to dry off in the sun afterwards...it feels just like it did a year ago at the old gym.

 

I tell ya, this new place (which is just 5 blocks from my apartment...if that's not reason enough to get my fat ass outta here) is the key to reaching that ultimate goal.

Just the thought of a big swimming pool is tempting me to join a gym now. We've got our Long Island beaches, but there's nothing like slicing through a "clear, clean pool" (your description has me hungering for it).

 

Best thing about a gym pool, as opposed to a hotel pool or especially a Disney World resort pool, is that it's "all adult" and you don't have to be concerned about kiddie pee in it. (Although I would still avoid the public hot tub section of the gym pool, coz you don't know what adult bodily fluids might be floating around in there.)
