I don't know why but I was nervous. I bought a kickboard and a new bathing suit (with room to expand). Luckily I put sunscreen on my face in the am cuz I forgot to put any on when I went to the pool. Also, I didn't have goggles and it was a bright, bright sunshiny day, so I closed my eyes a lot during the swim.
Still being nervous, I used the kickboard the entire time. I did 20 laps of the 50 meter pool and halfway through another preggers mom joined my lane. She had on a regular cap visor, which I thought was smart for the sun. Actually when I looked around, there were a lot of preggers momas in the pool!
It was really nice to have the feeling of weightlessness, even though I've only gained 6 pounds, it felt good to have the belly floating. Glad I bought a 20 swim pass cuz this will be great for me in the months to come!
One thing I forgot about swimming, though, is how hungry you get afterwards! And I was swimming so slow, it didn't really feel like I was burning any calories during my swim! I had to go straight to traders joes and get some grub!
Anyone want to join me anytime after 9 am for a swim, just give me a ring!!!
