Masters swim club
My son Troy is “sorta” interested in competitive swimming, and the club near us has an excellent deal where you can try it for a week to see if you indeed like it. He was a little leery about this, as his main fear is “it sounds like a lotta work, Mom.”
I did the typical “give it a try … you compete against yourself, really .. you’ll never wonder if you might have liked it if you don’t try” lecture that we learn so well at Mom School …
… and then he saw the poster.
Masters Swimming. Adults: Get Fit, Have Fun, and Perfect Your Stroke. Free “Try-It” Week.
Why don’t you try it, Mom??
Ummm … well … Mom is kind of busy … ummmm …..and I’m not sure if I’d like to swim competitively …
Oh PUH-LEEZE?!?
I’ve discovered that “oh puh-leeze…” combined with a lot of eye-rolling is the kid-version of the Mom school lecture. So I’ve eaten my words, and I’m going to try it. I love swimming, I used to teach swimming, but something about this still gives me butterflies in my gut. Should be an interesting “try-it” week.
Anything new you’re going to try this summer? Oh PUH-LEEZE….
