Swim

So today is Labor Day, obviously, and I don't know if we have swim practice. It's good and bad. Bad because swimming is like I dunno burns a lot of calories and you get a lot of muscle through hard work. Once last Tuesday we were doing like 6 100 of butterfly kick and my abs hurt sooo bad. Like we still swim outside in a long distance pool. It's because SwimMAC is building there own pool and we have to rent random swim spots like we swim at Moss Creek or at HFFA or at Davidson college. Yeah we swim we're the college swims. Literally like 15 minute walk and like 1 minute drive. Davidson is my favorite pool. But anyways swimming is like really annoying to get ready and stuff I have to decide which suit to wear like did I wear this one last last week? Or I haven't worn this one in a long time but it gives me a wedgie, is really showy, and hurts my shoulders when I lift them up for like warm up dry land. so I have to like suffer through that and bring my mesh bag and my dry bag. It's annoying but then we spoke to Master Hartle and asked him if we could count the swimming for TDK and he said yes for running and I TOTALLY understand cuz it's like more tiring then running.
