Second day of the swim meet, and I did the 200 back and the 200 free. What I love most about these meets is the fact that no one cares what you look like in a swimsuit, how fast you are, or how old you are. It's just fun to dive in and race.
There was a 91 year-old man who did the 500 free yesterday and at least two events today. It may have taken him a few more minutes than everyone else, but he finished. So inspiring, and his wife was beside him the whole way cheering and wrapping a towel around him as soon as he got out of the water.
I have loved the sport of swimming for most of my life, but competing in these masters meets has given me a new appreciation for it.
