Resolutions
I know, I know. Resolutions are ridiculous, meant to be broken, recipes for failure, right? Well, they don’t have to be. Every year, my dad resolves to give up alcohol for the first quarter of the year. I think it … Continue reading
Michael Phelps is dirty
I’m sorry I haven’t been posting more, y’all. I have a ton of recipes to share… I just haven’t had any time to actually post them. In the meantime, as a blog with the word “swim” in the title, I … Continue reading

I have wanted to learn to surf for a really long time. I know I should have done it in North Carolina, but I didn’t want to do it by myself and Toby was deployed most of the summers. So … Continue reading

New swim cap!
I’ve had the same swim cap since 1999. I got it at a random store in Belgium after I determined (through a series of gestures) that I needed to wear one to swim at the pool down the street from … Continue reading
