Swimming

So I've joined the gym and started swimming.

And when I was in the pool alone the other day, and floating on my back and propelling myself forward with my arms (i.e. the opposite direction you usually swim when doing the backstroke), I realised that it was probably good that I was alone in the pool, and that no one with influence on my career advancement was present. Because when I am in a swimming pool I have the compulsion to pretend that I am a professional synchronized swimmer.

Which I am not.
