So, as dear reader(s) of mine know, I swim regularly in a very short pool. Longer than my pool in Kyrgyzstan but shorter than a typical pool. No matter, while the pool is short, it’s still just filled with water. That’s all you really need to swim, right? I get the time horizontal in. Need that time swimming for Manhattan in July.

Well, as luck would have it, the pool will close for 2-3 months starting June 15th. Yep, just over a month prior to my swim attempt. Could the timing be worse? Now I’m on the search for another pool either near work or home. There’s one right by home, but it’s about $25 per visit. Yikes.

If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have no luck at all!
