30 laps!  In 50 minutes.  Woo freaking hoo.  I had a chat with the lifeguard tonight and he told me there was a chart on the wall that told how many laps equals what mileage.  I, of course, without my glasses on in the pool, have never paid the least little bit of attention to these wall charts.  26 laps equals 1/4 mile.  Hee!

Who rocks the pool?
I rock the pool
And when I rock the pool
I do it all night long!

Yes, I am totally being ridiculous, but considering six weeks ago I could only swim six laps, I am very proud of myself.  As lifeguard person pointed out, this is a 500% improvement.  So, yay, me!

Gives high 5 and bows to you're swimming awesomeness. It took me at least a year or two before I was able to get up to a mile, so you blowing by my progress by leaps and bounds.

To be fair, I used to be a fish. *laughs* Well, I practically grew up at the Y and used to routinely do 50 laps. I think my body just really remembers. It's been fun getting back to it, if exhausting. Well, I don't know about doing a mile. That would be 104 laps and I don't have that kind of time just now. Half a mile, maybe. *grins*

YAY! Good for you!

You know, all your recent posts about swimming have inspired me to take it up again. It was the only sport I've ever been remotely successful at maintaining in the past - that was over 4 years ago now but I've been wanting to get fit again so last week I went and signed up with the local leisure center on a free 7 day pass. So far I've been twice - yesterday and last Thursday. And I'm about to head out again tonight. It's painful right now 'cause my body isn't used to it, but I'm hoping it will get easier. Anyway, just wanted you to know that your posts are inspiring! :) So Thanks!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!

Oh, I love to swim, and I know it's an exercise that I would keep up with, if only it weren't so expensive to join the Y here.
