swimmingIt did not take longer of than a blink of an eye to say, “Yes” to my friend after he called on Friday to see if I wanted to come over to his place for a pool party today. Swimming seems like exactly the kind of activity for what is supposed to be a 90-degree day in Los Angeles. The start of June has been awesome for swimming. I don’t know if it was just Memorial Day weekend but everyone is starting to spend afternoons either at the beach or in a pool. I have no qualms with that. As a kid, my mom used to call me “her little fish” because I never got enough of floating around in local pools, lakes and rivers. I grew up in a colder part of the country so swimming was a real treat because there was only maybe a month total of days where the weather was right for swimming.

Down here in Southern California, almost every day could potentially be one for the water especially now. I’ve already challenged my friend to see who can hold their breath longer underwater. Hopefully, all the recent jogging will help me win this competition today.
