Let’s Go Swimming

by Heather on November 9th, 2006

When I picked up my kids at school today, I noticed how warm it felt outside. On a whim, I said, “Let’s go swimming!”

We live near a gym that has an indoor pool, and we go pretty often in the summer, but we hadn’t been since August. So we went this afternoon. It was wonderful exercise for the kids. I admit, I didn’t feel like getting into a bathing suit, so I watched and read a few chapters of Lisa Samson’s new novel, Straight Up.

If you can get to an indoor pool, swimming is great exercise. And it’s fun, just plain fun, to get out and see people. Plus it’s a good reminder to watch the old love handles. When they’re hidden all winter, they may not be welcome companions in the spring.
