alright Aquacourt 100 yd

Haha! I did swim maybe 100 yards, but I really suck at it! But I'll never get better if I don't start somewhere!

    @Frank, nah, no tri for me. Just with the kids at the pool and thought I'd see what I could do. Plenty of gasping and panting to be sure! But I AM blaming my 'I wonder if I can do this' on all you DM'rs!

    I'm in the same boat, Mark (well, not literally because it would mean I'm not swimming!)...I learned to swim a long time ago, but have forgotten how to be an efficient (and effective) swimmer.

    Its's so much harder than it looks! Great job! What an athlete you are. He's at the pool with the kiddos, looks with squinted eyes at the lap lane as if in challenge and says to himself, "I wonder..." Sweet!
