Took the Kid to a pool today. OMG, if the ferry capsized I’d be one of them going down with the ship.

I was a fair hand once, obviously I need to get back into it, seems like a perfect exercise for older folks.


How ironic (I think that’s the proper word), as I just discovered the very same thing about 3 weeks ago. We just got our pool “up and running”. It’s only 32 feet long, and making 2 passes was a bit difficult. Doing better now, but darn sure couldn’t do the “mile swim” like I used to when I was in scouts.....I might make 100 yards if it were life or death! memtb
