Anyone can become a better swimmer, and I mean anyone!

I admire you for being able to keep going and pushing through the exaustion. I'm so happy you'll be doing it agian. Know you know what to expect and how to make it better. I love your sense of humor!kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06269493667519186968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8440128390512946068.post-79382701446510924552009-08-21T10:11:12.612-04:002009-08-21T10:11:12.612-04:00Congratulations Rich!
