Photoessay #183 - Swimming latish at night


Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, I go to deep water aerobics at a local pool. Mostly but not all women. Of a similar age and body shape as myself. As in, honey, if we can put on a swimsuit and get in the pool, ANYBODY can. Round and heavy is just fine. Our instructor is a wonderful young man (he's only 18) named Norman. Norman takes care of us and we watch over him. He's bright, I feel he's got a successful future coming to him.

We wear flotation belts around our middles and we do exercises in the deep end. Contrary to popular mythology those are NOT weights. But hard impacts on the body, it's a good workout. Norman pushes us a bit. We tease him about the music "Norman! I want MOTOWN!"

I used to go to this class years ago (8:30 at night). I loved it, you would get home and all of the kids would be in bed. Yessssss!
