Last night I arrive at the pool fully intending to spend the next hour attempting a back stroke and, if the area was empty, attempting a freestyle stroke as well; follwed by a lot of water jogging and noodle resistance work, etc. etc. I got goggles, so I can do those without losing contacts now! Instead, I arrived to find a class had just started. I obviously couldn't do what I had planned, so I just joined the water class. Like the last one, I was the youngest person there. Unlike the last one, I was challenged! They did some biceps and triceps that got my arms buuuuuurning! In my head, I was thinking, "Dang old ladies! You go girls!" At the very end we did this circuit that, for lack of a better description, was and alternating skip across the width of the pool one way, and a russian type dance the other. For the Russian bit, we went across the pool kicking up our ankles and touching opposite arm and ankle so it looked kind of like that dance where they squat down really low and kick out their legs... I hope you're following me on this one. Either way, it was quite a workout. My heart rate was going, my inner thighs were working hard, and I was pretty excited.
Sadly, I got out of the pool, looked down, and my ring had oxidized. Last time this happened, my suit got bleached or something from the amount of chlorine or chemicals in the pool and I had to buy a new suit. I went and spoke to the manager so that, if it happens again, I can get a new suit out of them. I can' go around spending $70 on a new suit every time i take a water class. Grumble grumble grumble.... they were super cool about it though. The manager was the guy who signed me up, and he actually remembered me! He said that if the bleaching happens, just let them know and they'd take care of it. Hooray for good management! Now if they can only work on their pool techs...
