Labor Day Swimmers

The luxurious pull of the first morning of a three-day weekend kept me in bed for far longer than planned, so I missed all the morning SCAQ workouts I thought I might get to. Coffee and watering the garden was a better choice, I have to say. It made my afternoon swim at the Santa Monica Swim Center more relaxed and I believe that is why I was able to get in and swim 40 laps straight!

That said, it was a crowded pool, and most lanes had 3-4 people in them rather than the typical 1-2 swimmers. I suppose the long weekend called more people to go for a swim – or maybe the beaches were too crowded? In any case, it was lovely to have a languid and relaxing swim to start the weekend out right.
