I learned to swim 2 years ago when I trained for a triathlon. Hadn't been in the water since until I got a stress fracture in my foot a month ago and had to stop running. Dr told me I could swim to keep up my fitness. I made myself get back in the pool and am surprised to find that I really enjoy it. You are right, Urlea, it comes right back and because I'm not training for time, I'm more relaxed and enjoying it more. I also bought a waterproof ipod case and earphones and love it!

Keep it up ladies, when I started 2 years ago I couldn't put my face in the water and making it to the other end of the pool was a major accomplishment (I would literally have a panic attack when I saw the black line go down in the deep end). Now I am up to swimming a mile 3 x week and increasing my distance each week.

I'm thinking of trying the triathlon again!
