[nfb-talk] swimming (was: Bard(

[John G. Heim]

So you're a swimmer, huh?  Do you ever have to share a lane? If so, how do 
you do it? I have never managed to do that successfully. Here at the pool at 
the University of Wisconsin, I call ahead and they set a lane aside for me 
so I can have it to myself. Its only a minor sacrifice because there are 
usually several lanes with only one person in them. So when they reserve a 
lane for me, it only means one other person has to share a lane.

Have you ever done any open water swimming? I would like to enter a 
triathlon but I don't like swimming tethered to someone else. I just can't 
get comfortable doing that. It effects my breathing and I just can't swim 
normally.
