Momo

Introduction:

"Hi All! I am a lifelong water lover, and finally learned to swim beyond dog paddle and elementary backstroke in the summer of 2005. Now I swim almost every day all year long. I also enjoy reading, knitting, music, gardening, and meeting new people. "

Why did you join Sac. Swimming?

"I hope to build a community of swimmers, make new friends, stay fit, and learn about new places to lap swim / open water swim. "

Are you working toward any specific goals, general fitness, triathlon training, open water opportunities?

"I am more than a bit on the chubby side, so I need to work out more! I really love swimming, and I relish the challenge of open water. It makes the repetitious nature of laps worthwhile."

Where do you currently swim?

"I work out during the week at at Natomas Racquet Club (not my favorite pool) but the rest of the facility is really nice. They have a Master's team that seems to emphasize speed over endurance. I'm slow but persistent, so I prefer distance."

What's your typical workout like?

"My intentions are to work out everyday, but lately this hasn't happened, although I'm regularly swimming 1800 yds 3-4x/wk. I usually do 1200 free, 300 breast, 300 (really ugly and totally pathetic, but hey at least I'm trying) fly, and 300 back."

Is there anything about you or your swimming you would like us to know?

"I began a dedicated goal of becoming a lap swimer in Feb. 2006. I could barely finish one lap free. Over the course of a few months, as my endurance improved, I could swim farther with less rest. Last summer I swam 3200 yds., no rest w/flipturns. "
