the training was long and intense. yesterday ran from 8 am to 11 pm. i'm a relatively good swimmer and a lot of it tired me out (swimming across the length of the pool on your back.. without using your hands.. with a 10 lb brick on your chest) or was kind of challenging (rescuing someone from the bottom of the pool, getting them out, rescue breathing, CPR). but we made it! i have my own whistle and breathing mask. triceps of steel. the beginnings of a one-piece tan. unfortunately no fanny pack.
the camp games have begun. one guy is calling me 'the genius' because i figure them out quickly. once you know how to play one camp game, you can more or less play them all. want to tryy?
one is three, five is four, seven is five and four is a cosmic number.
what is eight?
we've moved into our permanent housing now so we'll be back to nightly updates and hopefully pictures pretty soon.

You must be a dynamite swimmer because those sound darn near impossible. I had a friend who use to swim competitively and her coach used to have them swim holding stones so they would focus on their form and not rely on using their hands. Intense.
