Fast Times in Valdez
Went to lap swim tonight. Put flippers on my feet and used a small boogie board. I flew through the water. I don't know how many laps I did. Quit counting. It was funny. When I saw someone swimming with this gear last week I said to myself "I gotta get me some flippers and a boogie board." When tonight I found out they've got boxes of each for lap swim use. See, my friend and her mom don't use the gear. They are swimmers. Now I'm just having a ball! Its not the full cardio workout but at least I don't have to worry about drowning.

Sounds fun Kath. How warm is the water? I love to swim too, you feel so freeeeee.....
Theres a smaller pool with 80° water thats maybe 4ft deep with jaccussi jets all around. Then the big pool is heated but not as hot. Perfect for swimming.
Good for you Kathy, I love to swim but HATE cold water. Glad to hear your sticking to it.
Nordica and I used to race using the boards...no flappers tho. You have to kick like hell to make it across the pool! It's good excercise. Now I just sorta float along. I'm thinking about going to the pool as it's in the 80's here. Tomorrow I sign up at the hospital for fixing my legs. That's Tue. a.m. I stay overnight then home in the morning. I sure hope I can start doing more after the angioplasty. I need to walk and move around more. Hope it works!
