Swimming

The weather is warming up and I miss swimming more than ever. It has been over 2 months since the pools closed. The beaches are slowly reopening but my two favourite spots are still off limits. The Pond is having repair work done to prevent further erosion, and the beaches are still closed in Gatineau Park. Friends have been going to Britannia Beach since Tuesday but I have had early morning calls all week so today was the first time I could go. I was so excited I was awake by 2 am! At 4:30, I got up and into my bathing suit, grabbed my swim bag, and headed out the door. That’s wen I met the crushing disappointment of an empty driveway. My daughter had taken the car overnight and I had completely forgotten.

I am now more thankful than ever that I got an on-line Zumba class last night with another swim club. It’s not a swim, but it was hang-out time with swimmers, and there were more upper body moves than usual in a Zumba class. Maybe I’ll take a walk down to the Pond later to check on construction progress. At least I’ll get to see water, even if I can’t get wet.

Here I am in happier times on a blustery day at Britannia.
