How high's the water, mama?

Depends on which end of the pool you're in, I guess. The new pool doesn't vary in depth, as far as I can tell. But Friday and Sunday, the new pool was still closed for repairs (I overheard another someone say that the tiles on the deck hadn't cured properly and some had failed, so maybe that's the deal).

Both days were just fine, 3,000 yards without any big problems. On Saturday, the massage lady did her magic, including a round of cupping (an old technique that involves inverted cups, vacuum and bruises that make my back look like she threw salami slices at me).

Say what you will about non-Western medicine (and if you're severly skeptical, in many cases I'll join you), but the massage lady gets results.

Thank goodness, because I want to keep eating ice cream, and that won't happen so much if I can't swim!
