I have always like swimming though I can't swim very well. I like how it is relaxing and not too strenuous like running. Ok, I am lazy. I always hear people talked about clearing their mind from exercising or thinking through issues while running. Nonsense! If I run, the only thing I concentrate on is to make sure that I breathe and dont die.
It had been a long while since I exercised. I basically stopped Zumba after Lil Shauna started P1 and didn't get any chance to go back. I like Zumba but I am a busy mum.
I was inspired after hearing Auntie S and SL's exercise regime. I wonder how they find those determination to hit the gym and go for runs. My legs turned to jelly at the mentioned of those words.
After procrastinating, I finally headed to the pool. But not before I made Daddy Lim buy me those waterproof mp3, bcos though I like swimming, I also find it super boring.
I settled for the Sony waterproof mp3, not that they are exceptionally great. They are the only ones commonly sold in shops and I want them now. They are also reasonably priced at almost $200. I told Daddy Lim that his present comes in a package and made him set up the MP3 and studied how to load it with songs last night. Hohoho.
Reviews say that the sounds are ok; I don't really care. It also mentioned that it doesn't stay in place very well underwater and advised swimming cap, especially for fast swimming. I dug out my "I-cant-remember-when-I-last-used-it" swimming cap, getting all ready for the big swim.
It didn't start very well. I think my head has grown bigger. I couldn't put on the swimming cap properly. I tugged at it so much until it broke. Oopsy. And I proceeded on without a swimming cap.
The experience was great! The earphones do need some adjustment every now and then but I was swimming really slowly and they didn't drop out frequently. The sounds worked fine for me. And so, I had a leisure swim with Jay Chou and Show Lo. Yeah, I am happy. Haha.
