Day 26

Today was another short day for me.  Due to poor organization on the part of the lifeguard at the ocean pool tonight I was unable to stay very long.

I arrive once again shortly before they opened.  There weren't many fish in the water so I got in and went to work.  After just a couple of minutes my friend arrived and we swam together for a few more minutes before the lifeguard asked my friend to please share a lane with me so she could put in a lane line so a newcomer could have her very own lane.

My friend started sharing the lane with me, but there simply was not enough space for both of us so I only swam 400 yards before getting out.  I complained to the lifeguard, who claimed her actions were approved by her manager.

I'm having a bad day (okay, honestly I'm having a bad couple of weeks) and I just couldn't take it.  I got home and wrote a message to the manager.  So depending on how this all works out, I might be forced into finding a new pool really fast.

At the end of Day 25 I had 2,778,650 yards left to swim - 400 yards swam on Day 26 = 2,778,250 yards left to swim!

I'm hoping I'll be able to go swimming again tomorrow but we'll see.

Day 25

I couldn't swim on Monday because everything was closed down for Labor Day.  My friend and I made plans to meet at the ocean pool Tuesday night.

I arrived a little early and there were quite a few fish in the water.  There was a really young one, training for an upcoming triathlon.  I think he'll get there.  It was storming yesterday too.  The waves were really high.

My friend didn't end up showing up, I'm starting to get a cold, and I was having a hard time breathing between the waves so I didn't stay too long.  After 1,800 yards my ankle was starting to bother me enough to want to get out so I pushed myself 100 more yards and called it a night.  My total last night was 1,900 yards.

At the end of Day 24 I had 2,780,550 yards left to swim - 1,900 yards swam on Day 25 = 2,778,650 yards left to swim!

My friend and I are planning to meet up again tonight.  I'm looking forward to getting back into the water in just under an hour!
