Chlorine Clean

I've never been a talented or driven swimmer.

Just recently I started swimming twice a week. It's amazing to feel your legs kicking behind you, to stare down at the white and dark blue tiles and follow the thick line from one side of the pool to the other. It's empowering to touch the side of the pool and feel your heart pumping strongly in your chest and the blood rushing through your legs. I like to know my body is growing stronger each time I swim. To know that potential energy oozes out of my pores, my muscles yearning to be stretched and used.

I don't relish exercising, but swimming seems to be an enjoyable way to do it.
