Day 75: Playing at the Pool

Calli- It is in your best interest to take vacations and actually have fun training while away. It was hard to go for a run the first day so we had the opportunity to relax and play in the pool. This gave us the chance to test out our floating and breathing skills in the water. Jose is sooo much better! I would definitely classify him as an experienced swimmer. I remember a whole year ago when we were playing in a pool and I had to teach him how to float on his back and tummy. Now he can do everything that I can. He can float, roll over, start swimming, tread water and so much more. He is proof that all you need to do is choose a goal, commit, relax, and have fun doing it. Great job Jose! I knew you would get there!

Jose- Being out on vacations always makes the training a little bit more challenging. You normally don’t have a gym close enough and your mind is set on relaxing more than in training. The good thing about this is that we love so much what we are doing here that we actually want to look for an opportunity to do some exercising. This first day was especially challenging, but we managed to do at least a little bit. We played in the pool! Even though it doesn’t sound very hard to do, it is tough to learn how to be comfortable in the water, and playing around makes you understand more how your body can move, float and slip in the water. For me it was very nice to see how good I feel now in the water compared with 3 months ago. Tomorrow for sure the training will be harder. It’s fun to play but we need some real action.
