As I've previously mentioned, I've been doing a lot of swimming during my recovery time to try and stay active and keep up my fitness.
Terron continually asks if he can come with me, but I normally go in the evenings after his bedtime, and it's lane swimming, no children are allowed until they can swim a length of the pool. Terron might be able to, but it's my time, swimming instead of running.
While there Thursday night doing laps, I noticed the water slide, and thought about how much Terron would love it, so I looked up the hours for recreational swimming, and decided that friday night we'd go together. We played some catch in the shallow end for a while and when the water slide finally opened, he rushed to line up... I went to where he'd come out and smiled while watching the excitement and smile on his face... how amazing to be a kid again. After a few trips down, he persuaded me to join him on the climb up, and yes, I went down the slide, and then again, and again. So fun.
Deep end is sectioned off for those who want to swim and do mini-laps; Terron easily makes friends wherever he goes, and this was no exception, so I headed off to the deep end for some actual swimming.
This afternoon we went back, Terron quickly found his friends again, and I headed back to the deep end for some laps. Wonder how much "lap swimming" during rec swim represents open water swim. People swimming in every direction, others bumping into you, little waves from some jumping in.
I stopped swimming and got to a depth where I could stand to readjust my goggles and fix my hair. Two teenage boys were on the opposite side of the rope whispering, and one of them smiled and said hi. So I just said hi back. Off to do a few more laps, they were always there, just kind of there and watching. Terron found me in the deep end, swam to me, arms wrapped around my neck, legs around my waist, kiss on my cheek. Just a quick hello and a little love, and he was gone. One of the boys then said... "oh, you're that boy's mom?!"
HAHA! Yes i am! Kicked up a splash to start another lap, my day had just been made :)

Cute, your a hot mama!!
You got flirted with by young men. While wearing a bathing suit. High five.
The pool I go to also has a slide and a shallow area for the "kiddies" to play while we adults get some laps in over on the lap side! Love it. What fun to go down the slide, I'm too chicken!
See, you'll soon forget all about running and before you know, you'll be lined up at your next race all healed and ready to go! ;-)
Woot! You must look HAWT in the bathing suit. :-)
Awesome! Bet that just made your day. ;o)
Awww nice that you can figure out a way to split your me time!
Way to get out there and DO IT! It is so easy to just sit back and be pissed. I'm tellin ya, a sprained ankle did wonders for my swim this year;)
Way to get em hot momma!
Awesome hot mama! Sounds like a fun way to hang w/ Terron and get your laps done too!
HAWT! You're a MILF! Awesome!
I'm gonna start swimming...not this week (too crazy) but the week after. Once again, you inspire me girl!
Awesome Mel! Teenaged boys...
Good job getting into the pool. You're inspiring me. I'm sad to say I've been hardly doing anything since my injury which is TERRIBLE, I know!
Maybe I should take up swimming during my recovery, too. Probably less danger of overdoing it? Love water slights ... Your son must have had a ball!
Glad you guys are both having fun in the pool. You must look so young and fresh.
oooh mel, hot mama! ;) bow chica bow bowwww!!
sounds like another win-win(&win) at the pool!
What a fun activity that you and T can share. Great idea!
Too funny that the teenage boys were checking you out, but I totally believe it. :)
That's really great that you were able to share the pool time. Really awesome..
Sounds like a fun time at the pool.
LOL at the teenage boys! That would make a girl feel good, fo sho.
WOOHOO - that is awesome!!
Keep up the good work sexy mama!!

Maybe I should hang out at the pool more often ha ha...
Love when that happens! You're MILFy chica!
Very cool!
glad you're enjoying the swim! and it's great to have stuff that your kids can do too. i try and get mine to bike but they are still too young to make it past the end of the driveway.
Swimming was my first love. ;)
What a sweet story!
Mel, I think that is better than being carded!
How do you spell "MILF" in Canadian?
When we go on cruises, Teh 'B always picks Carnival because they have slides.
She loves slides.
Plus - she's a MILF.
That's the best story!!!!
That's a great ego boost! Best of both worlds- quality time with your son and affirmation that you are still hot.
You got checked out by teenage boys...nice!
