Hello all you sea legs
No, I did not go fishing. I have not been hooked to that yet. Yesterday was the opening of the pool at our local Y. So since we had Wendy's niece, Maya, we decided to check it out. Maya loves to swim at her local pool and does it quite often. Wendy also enjoys the aqua. I can take it or leave it. I like to drink it and bathe in it, but that is about it.
So we head over to the water late Saturday afternoon. Right as we pull into the parking lot it begins to rain. We had noticed it was a little overcast, but we were hoping for the bright skies. So we waited under a little tent with deck chairs for the rain to stop. Fortunately, the sky was blue so the rain let up after 15 minutes. The guards let everyone back in, which were able 10 kids, Maya, Wendy, and me. We swam for a little bit. The water was cold to me. I like hot or least warm water. I have to even shower with warm water.
The pool was deeper than I thought. It started out at 4 and went to 9. It puts your height in perspective when you are in 5 ft water and your head is barely over the water. We went into the deep and I had to hang onto the side. I could not tread enough to maintain buoyancy in the deep water. I have learned that I am greatly out of shape, but I have never been much of a swimmer to begin or end with.
Wendy and I got out after a few minutes. Maya still continued her underwater tour. The Y also has a slide which Maya enjoyed.
Perhaps one day I will be able to pool my physical resources and enjoy the water.
