One of the other lifeguards at the Y where I sometimes work is doing swim workouts twice a week for whoever wants to participate, so I decided to go tonight. Sounded like a good idea, especially since I slightly irritated my left knee running on the treadmill last night. I walked into the pool area and saw these buff-looking guys (the guy running it is a former bodybuilder) and thought "uh-oh, I am going to get my butt kicked!". Well, it turned out that I was able to keep up just fine for the whole 1500-yard workout we did (all freestyle, including a 200 pull and 200 kick) which was a relief. It felt good to do some swimming and it was nice to not just be trying to bang out a mile by myself (boring).
