Spent the morning (and last evening and tomorrow morning) at a kids swim meet. Youth swimming is booming in Illinois! Nice to see. All sorts of kids who have a team to be a part of and a coach who cares. Each kid has their race to race - no-one is left out. And, with the truly frightening childhood obesity epidemic, it is nice to see several hundred kids racing their hearts out on a snowy winter day.
Then, inspired by the kids, I dove into a pool for the first time in 2.5 weeks. Lots of coughing, but it felt good to swim. I am a late blooming swimmer - no swim teams in my childhood town. I'm trying to make up for that lost experience. I'm getting better, but I still have potential. It is nice to still have potential.
