I love swimming (and the accompanying smell!)

There are a few things I really enjoy and swimming is one of them. Last night I was in a crappy mood. Off I trudged to the Springville pool to help the Boy Scouts in our ward earn their Swimming Merit Badge. I beat them there so I got to swim a few laps while I waited and boy did that change my mood. The boys were fairly well behaved and all did a good job passing off their skills, and I got to teach a couple of them how to improve their strokes, so the experience was good. I came home much happier and now have the chlorine smell on my skin to remind me.

On the same note, I discovered a woman nearby who has a swimming pool in her back yard. By "discover" I mean that I read the flier she left on my front door. Anyway, I've rented a lane in her pool for the month of May, so I will be swimming 4 days a week there for the next little while. I went this morning with a friend and it was so great.
