Today we went to Kuang-Fu's swimming pool for swim practice. The water was sooooooo gross. It was salty and when we put into the water, we couldn't really even see through the water. It was really white and wasn't clear. After swimming for a while, the water started to make our skin itch. Annie started to scratch her skin so hard that it started to become red. Also, the water was really warm which made it really hard to breath while we swam. Today, in total, we didn't swim a lot actually. We swam for only about 1500 meters. In the end, Frank measured how fast we swam in 200 meters. It was measured in the end of the practice so we all we exhausted. And since I stopped practicing for 1 month and just started practice for 1 times last Wednesday, I couldn't really follow up. There were 7 people swimming today, and only 6 of us were measured. In my group, I was the last, but fortunately, comparing to the other group, I was faster than all of them. This made me feel good because I'm such a competitive person that wouldn't be happy to lose. I guess I'll really have to practice more frequently and not finding ways to skip practice.
