It's okay, I have a doctor's note

Me, at the pool in the first time in forever: yay i can still breathe in properly when doing crawl
Me, an absolute dumbass: ...what do you mean breathe out?

So... you can now use your lungs as floaties, right? :D

[dhampyresa]

Now there's a thought!

Yay swimming! I know you'd been missing it. =D

[dhampyresa]

Some people pray, some meditate, I swim :p

I'm so glad you're back in the water!

It watered my skin, cleared my depression, cured my fields! As the kids say

Oh, lucky you to be back swimming again!

If it helps I (like I said) got a doctor's note: it is for PT on my shoulder, but the doc did mention that it would also be good for my mental health so that might be a venue to explore for you?

My problem is that indoor pools are still completely closed for at least another month (and I wouldn't swim in an indoor pool unless the majority of adults in the country were vaccinated, anyway). There is an outdoor pool in Cambridge that opened this week, but I no longer live in Cambridge, so getting there would involve catching a train and then walking for forty-five minutes either way. I'm not sure doing so is really justifiable, even on mental health grounds. But I'm glad you've been able to get back in the water again.
