I too nmm, like the word zoomers. Well, alot. I think I'm going to use it in many instances even incorrect ones, just to throw it out to hear it ring back in my ears.

So, RE: Olympic pool? I swim at Mount Scott community center and sometimes dishman. I thought these were olympic pools. According to what they have posted there, one mile equals 72 lengths. Is this not correct?

[nm]

As a swimmer.........."olympic pool" always meant a 50 meter pool. ie: the olympics are always swam in a 50 meter pool.

As for distance........1 mile = 1760 yards or 1609.344 meters.

To answer your question...yes....72 lengths in a 25 yard pool is the equivalent of 1 mile. I am not personally familiar with the Mt. Scott or Dishman pools......as I haven't had the opportunity to swim in either one.

If you're swimming a mile to mile & a half every day..........you're way ahead of the game.

Well unfortunately I am familiar with the Mt. Scott pool, which by the way, is nowhere near Mt. Scott.

Consider yourself lucky there nmm. It is a register of who's who in white trash. A horrible place where at one time the pool was cleared for a turd. No it was not mine. The same place where I am working with my daughter on learning to swim in one of the lanes and some arrogant jerk that was to cheap to pay the price of a real health club gets into a screaming fit with me over being in his way. He about got his speedo wearing @ss pounded, but the cops showed up. Oh...and the kicker...yeah..i am the one who gets booted from the dump.

i hope that shithole burns with everyone in it.

Wilbur it was a baby ruth in the pool!

Um.....and I think it's a lot better now. I moved into the woodstock neighborhood, lower, by the Delta, but Mount Scott is the closest pool to my house. I haven't come across dirty or gross facilities or bad attitudes in the lanes. It's just mostly obesity on showcase there. But, if it's a place you used to go to, maybe check it out again. You can't beat 18 bucks a month.

I have to confess........I've had a pinched nerve in my neck (left side) for 3 days now. I had to do the second half of the ladder back stroke. Had to drop a couple of 50's but made the send off. Is anyone here a chiropractor? Osteopath? I need an adjustment.....

[Gazsurf]

Any volunteers out there? Any mail order degrees @ hand? Jeez way to get the week off with a bang.....no pun intended.....really!

You're crazy lady, but with a workout like that you probably sport a hot body. You're a bigger person than I am. I am much too lazy to commit myself to a routine anywhere near as strenuous as that.

[Koo Nass]

Thats not a workout, thats therapy

[nm]

you probably sport a hot body.

Um......yeah. It has a tendancy to heat up during the hot flashes.

You're a bigger person than I am.

This is true. I've seen your pictures. I'm pretty sure my bicep is bigger than your waist.

Thats not a workout, thats therapy

Exactly.

[Ron Burgundy]

what's the best way to prevent a cold when you feel it coming on?

i'm just throwin this one out there cuz everybodies got there own remedy.

so far i've tried sh%t tons of vitamin C, zinc/coldees, and that airborn stuff that dissolves like alka seltzer.

still no luck, i've been getting sick on and off like every week.

i'd like to Rick Morranis to really invent that machine from "Honey I shrunk the Kids" so i can enlarge a cold virus to proportion and then beat the sh%t out of it.

[Koo Nass]

Plenty of liquids, spicy food and a dry sauna
