Swimming and my Favorite Swimsuit

I finally got up early and got a swim in-1026 yards in 25 minutes.  I wasn’t going to swim this morning, but Dave had to drive around my work for his research testing.  I figured I should take advantage of the ride to the gym.  I felt ok during the swim and the pool wasn’t too busy which was nice, but my goggles were putting too much pressure on my face towards the end of the swim so I was glad to get out of the pool.  I am happy with myself because it used to be so difficult for me to get into the pool when I was training for the Pumpkinman Half Ironman and I already have been increasing my frequency of swimming in the last month.  It is kind of funny because it never was difficult when I was little, I loved swimming!

I had a favorite bathing suit that my parents had to nearly yell at me to take off. It was a blue one piece with a little frilly skirt and balloons on it.  When summer hit, I would get this baby on when I woke up in the morning and never want to take it off.

I haven’t found a bathing suit like that yet, so I better keep looking!  For now, my Speedo one piece will do for my swim workouts.  My swim was a nice workout but I am also hoping to attend a free pilates class at Fort Point to get some toning action in!  Double workout day?  I think so!!

Did you have a clothing item when you were younger that you loved?

Do you like swimming?
