I had planned to swim after school but by the time I got ready to head to the pool it was raining heavily and according to my car it was just 10 degrees outside. After thinking about it for some time I came to the conclusion that a) it might rain just as much on the day I have to swim the mile, b) the pool is heated to at least 26 degrees and c) if I did swim I could check out my new length counter as well as have a curry afterwards… so, I went swimming and completed ½ mile in 45 minutes.
