I'm In. Surf's up!

[susandennis]

I'll be swimming on Monday at 11:30 and again on Friday at 11:30! The city's reservation system is a little convoluted but I'm impressed they even have one and it works so I'm not going to bitch. $4.25 a swim (beats the $15 I paid at the Ballard gym).

Apparently the locker room will be open but not the showers or lockers so I will be able to get out of my suit and dried off before I leave so that's fine. I can shower when I get home.

The pool has a deep end which is not necessary but oh so luxurious. I love jumping in and going down down down before I take off.

Now I just need my lungs to cooperate. After several swims, particularly if those swims are every day or every other day, in a chlorine pool, I get severe shortness of breath and coughing. [Set aside that this is NOT the time for either of those two symptoms...] Since it does not happen at the pool or even right after a swim, Dr. Lung thinks it's likely not an allergy. SINCE it's not an allergy, maybe I can condition my lungs to it if I work at it. Hence the Monday and then Friday... I'm going to try anyway.

Now I need to dig out my swim gear!

I will be crossing my fingers for your lungs! I looked this up in case there had just been some miracle cure discovered for it, and sadly there wasn't, but I was surprised at how common it is. The only advice was to swim in outside pools. Helpful - take your bulldozer for the walls.
