Lifeguarding Season II: 50 miles logged

The “off-season” for emergency response personnel in northwest Florida is November 1 – March 1. During the off-season, I logged 50 miles in the pool. Although I am no Diana Nyad—I was proud of my 50 miles. Those little moments add up, and there were many days I did not want to swim. I wanted to do nothing, but the endorphin release and relaxing shower after my swim kept me going.

Swimmers,
