Swimming

I have been swimming a lot. Today is the second day of 80 laps.. I swam 80 yesterday. Since the beginning of September, I have been swimming tons. Rich is taking lessons so he can swim with me. The first time I did it, I only swam 24 laps. After that I went to 40 laps and I have done 60 laps. I have done 80 three times now. 72 is one mile, so swimming 80 is a little over a mile. I have tried other strokes, but feel most comfortable doing breaststroke. I am doing awesome with it though. I am under 160 pounds.

I guess I should explain that Rich and I now have a membership to the Pottstown YMCA. We got it because they have the indoor pool and Rich wanted to get me back in the water. He knew I can swim and thought it would be great exercise for me. There are two pools, a whirlpool, two gyms, a weight room, and an indoor track.
