I have swum TEN TIMES! I am very proud of myself. I have earned a 10 day pool pass, which is slightly cheaper than paying as you go. Today I did my 2K straight, just kind of to see if I could. I could. :) The last 500 meters, somebody who could *swim* was in the lane with me. We were about dead even in speed, though I don’t know which of us would be faster if we were actually trying. Probably him, ’cause, well, boy. I told Ted this,…
