We send thoughts of love out to Larry H. and his family, whose father passed away yesterday in Missouri. Also, grateful that BJ suffered only minor scrapes after being forced off the road while biking on Tue... Our hump day workout and a warm welcome to Gary B., a new swimmer transplanted from Sarasota!

It was questionable if a certain member of our group would actually get in today. It wasn't concern about the water temp, which was a balmy 80F today, and it certainly wasn't  motivation issues.  What, then, might have kept Jeff O. From getting in? Anyone?  He couldn't find the skimmer for his daily hairball patrol! … Continue reading 16 place settings for Monday →

This morning's swim service at Asheville School had chapel attendees Ed W., Ruth R., Becky K., Nancy C., Larry H.

Larry Hartley has made his way to Chattanooga for the open water races on Saturday! He's swimming the 4.5 mile down-river race, with nary a current...there must be a theme with the "current assisted" events this month, as Lisa K. and Adrienne K. both had very little natural assist in Charleston recently. The events are … Continue reading RAT RACER! →

As difficult as it is to GET IN THE WATER, and as most every swimmer knows that's often THE hardest part of a workout, there is something about swimming outdoors as dawn breaks.  It's just magical.. inspiring... so glad you did it, EVERY TIME.

Monday we began our morning swims outdoors at the Jewish Community Center on Charlotte St. downtown, the only 25 meter pool in the area (to my knowledge) the water temp was a perfect 77F, and we had 15 folks enjoying the sunrise. Come on out and see for yourself just how awesome your day can … Continue reading Summer Time Means Swimming Outdoors! →
