Subject: Life guard's rude comment I was drilling using TI techniques yesterday at my neighborhood pool. I swim there regularly in the evenings with the masters group but I had the opportunity to join my hubby for a morning swim. So I did.
The moring life guard stops and asks me after I’ve completed a few laps of drills, “Are you doing the same thing as your husband?” I said, “Oh yeah, Total Immersion drills, it’s great!” He goes… “ I’ve heard of that….. It’s for teaching old people how to swim, nice and slow”. I glared at him for a moment, trying to register his point. This guy is about in his late 20’s. I was stunned, so all I could say was, “well, I am 47 years old and can out swim you anyday of the week”. I turned and swam to the other side of the pool. He obviously didn’t know what he was talking about, but what an idiot! My hubby said that the life guard was probably just jealous on how fluid and graceful I was in the pool. Gosh I love my husband. |
