Swimming in Water

I use to be a swimmer. Maybe that is why I don't do it that much these days. During swim season in high school, I would swim from 4-5 miles a day. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. It could get to be a bit tedious...much like reading this blog! That's why I run now. The scenery changes and my iRiver (a cheap iPod knock-off) helps keep the ground rolling under my feet. But I digress...

During all my years of swimming, I don't remember dehydration being a big issue. So imagine my surprise when I found 2 people swimming laps today that had bottled water on the edge of the pool. And they actually drank from them between laps! Have people been drowning in pools after succumbing to dehydration?

I hope so. The irony would be delicious.
