Jen's exercise for Wednesday 05/02/12Tonight I started my swim class at a local community college - 1 hourThe class wasn't at the college however, because they are renovating their pool area. Instead all of the Aqua classes will be at a high school in the area.The water at the high school pool was FREEZING COLD! The only place that had colder water was at a Middle School in the area and that pool was eventually condemned and shut down.After I got moving, I finally warmed up..YAH! I signed up for the beginning swim class (really I'm an intermediate swimmer) because I'm out of practice and because I know the girl (na) who is teaching it. na was the head life-guard at my pool a few years ago. When I went to class I found

out that na isn't teaching the class this semester because she has to work full-time (the class is 6 to 7pm.) Luckily for me (I can't stand one of their swim instructors) I got someone I know and like! Her name is and she was trained by Nelli who designed the Adult Swim program for Schoolcraft college.I told that I signed up for the beginning class because I'm rusty and can't do that many laps. I told her that's why I took it instead of her Advanced swim class (she teaches that on Fridays.) She told me that I should be ready to take the Advanced class if I practice and get in shape over the summer. So now I have a new goal....to be able to swim enough laps to take Advanced Adult swimming (I've all ready taken Intermediate swimming a few times.)During this class we practiced swimming and a little of the freestyle stroke but not much on the mechanics of the stroke yet. We also did

floating and rotating from the stomach to the back and visa versa. And flipping over from the right to the left side etc... It was a good class. The class runs for 12 weeks and told me that she will give me the Advanced moves to do, since she knows I can do them.Swimming didn't bother my sinuses but I did get a headache later...oh well. And when I first started kicking the ankle that I hurt the tendons in was hurting quite a bit...but after a while it stopped, hopefully it will be ok.It felt great to be back in the pool again...very relaxing!
