Small Pool Swim

I may have mentioned previously that my friend has a pool in his back yard. Before the escapades at the Y, I started swimming at his pool. It is only 8 yards in length - so I had to count pretty high to get to the 250 yards. You laugh but when you are thinking - stroke, stroke, breathe, kick... you eventually find yourself at - what number am I at again?
But it's nice to go there to swim... salt water which I hope is easier on my hair, skin, ears... usually friendly conversation - as he does come out to say hello... easier than driving to the Y Just lots of reasons... But it does require swimming 32 lengths of the pool.
I swam today as we chatted - so not much of a speed or cardio thing going on there. But I did swim back and forth for about an hour. So for today - I am OK with it.
