We all have our addictions from chocolate to smelling gasoline to playing hockey! But my one addiction is chlorine. I love that sting you get when you get pool water in your eye or the taste and smell. I know it's really weird but I was basically raised in the pool. Neither one of my parents can swim swim but I'd say I'm a pretty good swimmer. Swimming to me is the only time I can fully clear my mind without any distractions, its like my high.
I've been swimming ever since I can remember! (But my mom says 3 and a half months) And at the beginning of the year I was swimming 3-4 times a week until I had emergency surgery in February! My appendix burst and I was in surgery shortly after. I wasn't discharged from the hospital for another 13 days later due to complexions. (But that's another story.) I was only allowed to start swimming last week but just haven't yet. I'm actually too scared to get into the pool again because I'm scared that I've lost all of it. I've worked my life for this and my little appendix is gonna ruin that!
Here's my fvauirte pool/water song ever:
