Curtis surprised me with my birthday present. He would splurge and let me go swimming again. I was thrilled, since I hadn’t been in the pool in 9 days. While I was swimming, I realized that it had only been a little over a week, so I wasn’t as out of shape as I’d feared.

Curtis parked outside the pool with the laptop and periodically watched me swim. I decided to add 100 yards, bringing my total yardage to 2000. Here’s what I swam:
200 free, 200 back, 200 breast, 200 IM, 100 cooldown, 100 IM, 100 cooldown, 100 IM, 100 cooldown, 100 IM, 100 cooldown, 100 IM, 100 cooldown, 100 back, 100 free, 50 back, 25 free, 25 back.

I was excited to make progress on my flip turns. They weren’t as embarassing, and some were even pretty good. I also noticed that I am having an easier time swimming freestyle. I wonder if I’m more bouyant with my baby belly? I also find it harder to do the butterfly because of the belly. I would like to try to swim at least once a week–at WMU, which is only $2.00 for an adult.
