I'm in. I just pulled up the registration page and was getting ready to hit that PAY button. LOL. Do you need the website or do you have it?

I will cheer you on and take you out for waffles afterward. I don't do swimming in public. Not as a form of getting from one place to another, anyway.

Yeah, I SO can't swim efficiently. I can not-drown. I can even usually stay afloat and motor in a general direction like a submerged little waterbug. But something that could be called "swimming" ? Not really.

I taught my neice to float the other week. She is actually a pretty good swimmer. I tried to teach her technique so she would be better and faster, but that was impossible. I tried to teach her how to glide her hands into the water and not smack it. She processed this as. Make fingers point towards the bottom of the pool while smacking the water. I kept flattening her hand and she kept making it an L. Sadly, she wasn't making the L BEFORE I started "helping" her. LMAO. I'm not quitting my day job!

Yeah, I'm just streamlined in the opposite direction from efficient swimmers, if you know what I mean. Although the last time I swam while running regularly, I did notice a big honkin difference in lung capacity, even after the initial lung-searing scream of OHMYGODTHISLAKEISCOLD!!

Well I alwao learned that I have trained myself to breathe incorrectly while swimming and now that I'm trying to breathe correctly again. I don't swim nearly as fast! F it! I'm goign to the gym tonight! This was my original plan, but someone wanted to hang out. But I miss the gym too much. I'd rather be there!

HEhehehe. Oui. Which, of course, is pronounced "waaihy." Only time I've ever seen my friend Robin get violent is when I told him he had a Quebecois accent after living in Montreal for five years. He got all miffed and threw couch cushions at me. (he lived in Paris until he was 5. Which is, of course, why I said it)

And yes, the quebecois do have an accent, a guy from the French consulate once said, his job was to keep the peace if a frenchman told a quebecois that he had an accent.
