Oh Baby, Get Me WET!

I passed the Lake Lesson and Swim Test today out on Lake Mendota. Though tiring, it was a hell of a lot of fun. I realized how much I miss being in the water.

It also occured to me that since I have been 6 months old, I have been in the water on a regular basis (at the bare minimum, once a week) up until the diving season ended my senior year. Then I stopped swimming, diving, wading, whatever, cold turkey, for stupid reasons not worth getting into. So getting back in the water (albeit disgusting lake water) was amazing.

To quote a classmate of mine, "I love it, miss it, I need it in my life."

Therefore, I've added finding a swim buddy to my list of things to do.

I also want to dive, but I'm too afraid to. I don't dive without my coach, as a rule, I'm not nearly as flexible as I ought to be to safely do the dives, and the muscle memory is GONE.

Ugn! But I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally miss it!!!! *sigh*
