To Come...and I heart swimming!

 I headed down to Saint Simon's Island for a weekend of fun in the the sun/wild fire smoke. I'll do an official post with more pics once I gather some good ones up from everyone.

To hold you over I wanted to show you the pic I got from my SIL at my adorable nieces swim meet, and talk about my love for swimming!

The Cheer Squad

My childhood was consumed with swim meets. My dad was the buzzer man and also a stroke and turn judge, mom worked at the score table putting in the tallies for each team, and all of my siblings and I swam every summer. I even went on to swim year round for the Augusta Swim League. Swimming is one of my favorite things to do, and probably my favorite sport to watch in the summer Olympics.

 A couple of years ago I was able to swim one mile in the Miami Triathlon Race I did as a relay with friends. I went out via boat to this little island off the coast of Miami and swam my heart out back to the Miami shore. The hardest part was not the distance, but the large heats of people. With so many people taking off at the same time, you can't help but kick someone, be kicked by someone or have someone accidentally push you under the water. It was by far the most intense swim I've ever completed with the people and the current/waves adding yet another factor. However, the feeling after you've completed something like that was amazing!! So...I'm going to look into making the swim definitely happen again.
