| When the pool is full, I become a floater like everyone else |
On Sunday, I did my lap swimming early, as I'm both selfish about my pool time and unwilling to disturb the "soakers and chatters" -- pretty much all pool users. Swimming is great for the mind and not bad for the body either.
Most of my swimming is upper body these days, due to a "chair injury" when we were in Cocoa Beach. It was one one of those recliners with a manual lever to recline the chair. To get out, I needed to whack my thighs against the seat to put it back into position. After a week of whacking, I ended up with what I self-diagnosed as a right side gluteus maximus injury. In the beginning, pain and muscle spasms extended all the way down to my ankle. Fortunately, the hot tub helps and so does restricting my leg movement in the water. I hate to swim that way but it has helped the sore butt.
I was better today and used my legs more. Sure makes for an easier swim.
