NSV Swimming!

Before I gained most of my weight, I worked as a lifeguard, camp waterfront director, and private swim instructor. Although I never swam competitively, I've always been a swimmer.
However, I was BARELY able to swim enough butterfly (one quarter of one length of the pool) to pass my WSI certification, and this was back when I was healthy.
I've been working into my swimming since I started back, just trying to get the stroke to feel more comfortable, and last week I swam a full half-lap (one length of the pool).
Last NIGHT, I swam one full lap, or 2 lengths of the pool, butterfly! It felt so good! And man, it works your abs!
