I'm a swimmer!

So, I'm chaperoning Boy Scout camp soon and we all had to go do swim checks yesterday!

I passed the Boy Scout swim test! Yay, me! You need to swim 100 yards continuously. The wave pool we did it in was actually bigger than 25 yards across, so who knows exactly how far it really was

Hubby asked when the last time I swam that far was...

I'm thinking never.

That's wonderful!

Hope it was fun too, because swimming is fantastic exercise!

Awesome!

What a great feeling.

You are going to have such a great time at camp. And, thank you for making it possible for kids to have the opportunity to go to camp by being a volunteer. Summer camping was one of the most formative experiences of my life and I really think all kids should get to go to camp --- especially during this plugged-in age.

Aw, that's so sweet of you to say!

We have a blast at camp. I can't speak highly enough of the amazing things scouts does for kids. My son has flourished in scouts. And the adults I get to hang with are pretty amazing, too.

Next goal, mile swim! I did it in 99 . It was the longest 1:42 of my life but I did it!

I was the Shooting Sports Director at Camp Makualla in Cresent, OR for 6 seasons. I loved every minute of it!

Back in the old days, when I was in better shape, there was a time when I swam a mile every day.

Since I have started swimming laps, I wasn't counting laps but went by the clock. Working up to an hour of laps. After a while I got a misfit shine that counts laps. Come to find out I had been swimming over a mile in that hour for a while! It is a miracle!

That's amazing!! Wish I had a pool that was close and cheap. :-/
