Here is the deal, swimming is a much better work out then running (my own point of view, but I do both). If you would like to learn how to swim laps, or want to swim laps in a group… lets doooooo it. I travel for work so I can not do a set date/ time every week. But I still swim when I am traveling and will kick your a$$ when I get back into town. So, does anyone else swim? ---

My girlfriend swam in high school. I’ve always wanted to learn at least freestyle. My form is terrible and I’d love to get to a point where I could actually swim with her, haha. ---

It’s definitely an incredible workout and I would actually love to start swimming, but I’m not a member to any place that has a pool. I thought about getting an alumni membership at UB but it’s too far out of the way. ---

My goal is to swim open water, so in the spring I would be game. NFTA is being weird around the “Pier” and swimming in the lake in open water, so just an FYI. Pier is a fine, (heard $250 plus per person) and towed car potentially. The Buffalo Triathlon Group is trying to negotiate with them now as they used to frequent the water there regularly. ---
