Ugh, I hate the rec center pool. Today reminded me why. It was super crowded, mostly older people, not what you'd consider competitive swimmers. I'm sharing a lane with a guy doing a very 'wide' and slow breaststroke. To make matters worse, we're in the lane with the handicap lift, so he's swimming more toward the middle and I'm crammed as tight against the lane marker as possible.

Swimming toward me in the next lane over is an old lady doing some form of the elementary backstroke that involves thrusting both arms, hands in fists, out to her sides. She is also sharing a lane and up against her lane marker, but seeing as she's doing the backstroke (?? you could call it that??) she can't see where she's going.

Well, as we pass - me going one way swimming freestyle and her coming the other way doing backstroke - she throws her arms out and her fist lands squarely in my cleavage, yes, right down my suit!!

That was enough for me to call it a day. 700 short, but so, soo over it...
