Pool Daze

Two weeks after opening it, I finally got to take my first swim of the year in our pool today. The water temperature, which I'd been keeping in the mid 60s Fahrenheit (high teens Celsius), was brought up into the mid 70s F (low to mid 20s C) this weekend, as I'd figured that I might be up for a dip. It felt pretty cool going in, but I warmed to it quickly enough, and stayed in for nearly an hour.

This is almost certainly the latest I've ever pushed off the start of Swimming Season, a reflection of how cold the Spring has been this year (as well as, I'm sure, my advancing age).

Nothing to do with age....just a very cool spring. Not our typical winter into summer Springs of the past few years.
