Remember when we were kids and we would run to the lake with our sibs, cousins and/or friends by our side and we'd holler, "Beat you to the water!" Or ... "last one in is a rotten egg!" Remember those FUN filled HOT summer days at the lake? Well ... today three fortunate friends got to experience that delightful memory.
Oh sure, we pretended to be grown ups, in our wetsuits working on using our legs LESS during OW swimming, focusing on our breathing technique and sighting drills. But, all in all when we "mastered" those skills and others ... off we went to the diving platform and climbed on the ladder ... looking foolish in our full armored wetsuits, we promptly JUMPED IN just like kids! As we surfaced we looked at one another and said, "Let's do that again!" We swam back to the ladder, climbed up on the diving platform and looked around at all the girls in their bikini's and guys in their jams basking in the sun SMILING at us! We didn't feel foolish ... we were High on Life!
So we line up, the three of us, and this time one of us says, "let's dive!" Ok! One, two, three, GO! WhooHoo ... we surface, look at each other smiling from ear to ear, and we say ... "let's do that again!" Our third time we line up and others have joined us and on "three" we ALL dove into the water and swam to the rope by the beach ... some of us swam Butterfly 'cause we could in a wetsuit:).
Sheri and Kim ... Thank YOU for rekindling the memories from childhood and creating new ones! Good luck at Fat Salmon and enjoy the ride of the wave and life.
