Swimming!!!
Today I went swimming for the first time in a pool in a foreign country... and for the first time in over 2 years. It was awesome!! At first it was a little intimidating... I didn't really know how the whole place worked. For starters... there were about 5 floors of showers and baths and pools. First you had to go to the locker room to change... you go in one side, lock the door and go out the other side. Apparently after swimming you are meant to go an ask the ''guy'' (... it doesn't sound right to call him a concierge in a swimming pool locker room)... to open your cabin. Interesting system.Then there was finding the actual swimming pool. I could hear the kids a mile away... but the echo was really bad so I still didn't know where the pool was. Ok... so found the pool... found a free lane... jumped into really really really nice heated water and did some laps.
There was 2 classes of kids in the pool training... made me think back to my days in the pool. Such a familiar atmosphere. Then some of the kids started jumping in my lane... apparently only to say ''Vous etes un tres bon nageur, madame'' (you are a very good swimmer)... they were very cute.
I'm going back tomorrow.
XOXO Jess.
p.s. forgot to mention that it was the first time that I have ever been swimming on the third floor of a building also!!
