I tell people that I “swim” six days a week. I spend an hour in the pool. I move up and down a swimming lane in the Olympic pool at the Fontana center. My method is a bit unorthodox. I do it all on my back. On a good day, I travel over 700 yards according to my Fitbit.
My friends at the center jokingly assert that’s not really swimming. So I did a little research. It turns out they may be right. What I do may be more like synchronized floating. That exists. Google it. Trouble is it usually involves more than one person. I guess it might be better called unsynchronized floating.
I’m really pretty excited about this new designation. I think there may be an Olympic event involved. I guess I could consider myself in training for the Olympics. Perhaps the only person for miles around working toward that specific goal.
I suppose the lesson here is to be sure to attach the appropriate label to whatever you do. You too could be a potential Olympic star.
