It's my first anniversary with swimming! To honor the occasion, I've been reflecting on all the progress that I have made over the last year, and I realized that I had inadvertently captured a lot of it on Twitter. So here are some highlights from my first year as a swimmer!
Strong swim w/ assist from @SpeedoUSA #paceclub & the new @casadecalexico record are making this morning rock despite slow @wmata bus.

Swimmers at my gym are early birds, but not on Mon! Lane to myself for my @SpeedoUSA #paceclub test set. I'm not fast, but I'm consistent!

Made it through my post-Thanksgiving swim this morning, despite feeling like there was a turkey strapped to my torso.
