I headed over to Big 5 Sporting Goods and picked up some goggles. I am still pretty sore from strength training, wow, I did myself in with that stuff. I am not as tough as I thought I was.
Going along with that last statement, don't try to swim in really cold water, I mean don't try it without a wetsuit. I thought I was going to drown...seriously. I waded into that darn lake and it was cold, but like all swimming in cold water - just jump in! Not when trying to swim for 30 mins. I got about 250 ft and thought I was going to drown, I could not breath. I turned around and after another 100 ft was trying to touch the bottom of that lake, I had to calm down float on my back and slow down. I obviously made it back alive, but I have a better appreciation for people who die in cold water. I watched a show that said that water transfer heat away from your body 25 times faster than air. I believe it.
I will be calling the school for my next swim, I hope they have room for me.
