Swim coach

My dad called me to just shoot the shit yesterday.  I mentioned to him how I am training for a triathlon and how swimming is the most difficult aspect for me.  My dad did a lot of running for awhile when he was younger and he has always liked to swim and is actually pretty decent at it. It’s probably the one athletic endeavor he could still best me at.

Dad described some of the swim training he did and offered me some tips.  As recently as a year or so ago he was swimming a distance of about a mile in the pool in less than 45 minutes.  It felt funny to be getting swimming advice from dad.  It almost made me feel like I was 11 again.
