Best kept secrets are best kept secret!

 
6:30 AM at the V. Star Pool.

I know better than to mention this but most of you folks live elsewhere so.....
I'm old enough to know you don't tell people about your favorite place, be it a camping spot or a favorite restaurant.  If you do it isn't long until word has spread and your favorite spot becomes crowded.

I was reading through the forums of the Masters Swim Association last evening and someone mentioning they had to share their lane with twenty other swimmers!!  E-gad!

I had not realized how lucky I am to have the place to myself most mornings at 6:30 AM.

Please don't tell anyone!

  2. Me and my big mouth!! This morning there were 10. Count 'em, TEN swimmers doing laps at MY TIME!! I had to share a lane, for the first time, since I started swimming at this pool last Fall!!

    Blast and drat! When will I ever learn? :-)

  3. Thanks sis.

    And Sherrie? I did go down the slide!! I was told to only go down in the sitting/laid back position. It was a ten second ride and quite a thrill. What I forgot to do was cover my nose when I shot out of the slide into the pool at the bottom of the run. I got a big slug of water up my nose very unexpectedly. Other than that!

    Whoot! Whoot!

  4. I was going to say you're safe at that hour. I doubt very much that the "crowds" will last.

    PS - doesn't your beard create drag in the water?
