Hmm...perhaps I'll be able to swim twice this week. Got in the water at noon and it seems like a great time to come. Nobody around.

I might pick up Emil early some days (school gets out at noon, and then he has an after-school program in the same building) and get him swimming. Lessons just aren't working for him, but I don't want to give up on getting him to learn to swim.

OK swim considering the circumstances.

Not SI as in Sports Illustrated, but rather SI as in sacroilliac joint.

Mine is already unstable due to pregancy. The day after my last swim, I ended up having incredible pain in my SI joint. I was afraid that it might be due to swimming, and my fears were confirmed today.

I could immediately tell that my SI joint is unstable as soon as I got in the water today. So breast-stroke was immediately ruled out. I could also tell that the normal rotations of the hip I do with backstroke and crawl were also a really bad idea. So I did this terrible flat on my stomach crawl using mainly my arms to drive me forward. Same thing on my back.
