03/10/05 CCB Masters Cold Shower

They are fixing the heaters at the CCB pool, which means no hot showers yesterday and today, and a little cooler pool temp (for CCB, that means 82 degrees). This situation revealed which of the Masters swimmers come for the workout...and which come for the hot shower. We had only TWO SWIMMERS this morning -- Holly and Kim -- so I got in with them and we had a really great practice and got to swim in our own lanes. And the most exciting part was the ice-cold shower at the end. AIYEEEEEEEEEEEE!
