The Family That Swims Together
Last year, I took Total Immersion (TI) lessons with good friend Nonoy Basa and since then I looked at swimming in a whole new light.
Since the start of this year, there have been only a couple of weeks when I missed a swim. I cover at least 1km 2-4 times a week depending on my availability.
I used to turn to swimming as my last resort when running aggravated an injury, spinning hurt the knees, or the elliptical was too boring. But, after one unforgettable swimming day, when I experienced the same inner peace that I used to get only during solo runs, I found myself seriously immersed into the sport. (No pun intended.)
So, as with running, I have recruited the entire family into the sport.
The kids have started lessons with Aqualogic Swim Co., the same company operated by Ria Mackay and Nonoy Basa that taught me Total Immersion…
– Little Miss Bull Runner had a tearful 1st session but is all smiles by the 2nd class –
– Surprise, surprise! One of my daughter’s instructors is Dess, one of the few female finishers of the Bataan Death March Ultramarathon –
– TBR Jr. on break –
And, just this morning, I accompanied the hubby on his first day of TI lessons with Nonoy. I swam 1k while the boys took their swimming lessons seriously.
– Fitness First team cyclist Joel, Nonoy, Jamike (Try-Athlete) and my hubby –
Next week, I hope to add runs after the swims. Now, that would be just perfect training for Animo Tri, right? I wonder when I can get the whole family to join that with me?
