I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Beware of the Death Ray at this Swimming Pool

One of them has what some are calling a "death ray" that appears when the sun hits the building and reflects down onto the pool area creating a super hot spot you are strongly advised to avoid.

Hello. I've a question. I just got 4 stitches 3 days ago. I missed swimming so much though, do you think it's ok to swim before they're taken out? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteKim - I'm not medically trained so I can't give medical advice. Still, I feel your pain - a day or two without swimming is like going without sleep for me! Give your doctor's assistant (nurse, etc.) a quick call and ask your question. Hope you get back in the pool soon!
