I did it!! I SWAM!!
It was awesome and I can't wait to go back and do it again. I probably swam about 1/4 mile, but in fits and starts since I would get out of breath pretty easily. I didn't feel too tired though until I got out of the pool. Man, my body is exhausted! It's a great feeling. I especially like that my arms feel tired too, since I usually do things that only work my legs.
I still have a lot of work to do in terms of my form, but I honestly was doubting my ability to do this so I'm very happy with my performance tonight.
Speaking of performances, I have a concert coming up with the UW Symphony Band and I have a totally weird soprano saxophone solo in it. We're doing a Lord of the Rings piece, and my solo is supposed to represent gollum/smaegol. It's very atonal and wheezy and gollum-y. It's a little frustrating though, since the horn I am playing on is not in the best condition. But overall it's still fun to play sop for a bit.
