Today will be my 2nd Saturday morning swim with a group of girls. What is the common denominator? A lust for life.

The idea is that we pick a different swimming spot – usually a tidal pool every Saturday morning and meet up for a swim at 7:00. Lots of chatter during the splash and then a coffee while we dry off before busy weekend schedules continue. Last Saturday we went to Ficks Pool where I have seen people swimming in the afternoons while I sipped on Chardonnay. Never did I even think of swimming here. 7:00 on a Saturday feels like a very safe time to escape the critical stares of diners and my own insecurities.
