Am I following that you're looking at competitive swimming?

Yup. Thinking about going back to it. It’s like a lot of leagues based on age, ability, etc. I did it in my late twenties and had a great time. I sucked then, will likely suck more now. Thing about SoCal is that there is a disproportionate amount of former top tier athletes here and I’m not one of them. But if I go in with zero expectations… gonna have to start doing flip turns though. That may kill it.

I think that is great! You can do it Kat! I think it would be lots of fun and productive in so many ways as well! I was quite athletic when I was in school ....wish I could do some outdoor activities but I don't think there is a league for ancient cheerleaders...😂😂😂

Sounds like it would be so much fun though, and a good challenge so I say 'Go for it' too! x

I can relate, swimming brings me joy! I think your plan sounds great! We have many indoor pools in my local area, I need to make more time to go!

OMG! Sounds exciting and scary at the same time. Go for it, what's the worst that can happen? 💚💛💜

I’m impressed.. I can’t even float! And I can only swim in shallow waters so I don’t drown 😅

Don’t be impressed until I actually do it. It’s going to take a lot of mental work as well. I know I will really need to work on string under water kicks and flip turns or just know that I’ll lose time on the ends. I loathe flip turns. And I don’t know how to swim backstroke in my pool. Current always tries to drown me. It’s a lot. 🤣🤪😂

Would hate to hear you drowned doing backstrokes in your pool. 😞 I never was very good at flip turns. My suggestion would be to "practice, practice, practice! 💚💜💛
