Swimming!!

I went swimming tonight! Two hours with Heather, Ashley, Shana, and Yumiko! Who knew that the swimming/gym centre on Ono's southern tip was really nice? $4 for access to both. But you have to wear a swim cap (like all Japanese pools) and there's no free swim area outside the kids zone, at least in the evening. Also every hour the bell chimes and everyone gets out for 10 minutes to rest and then we all stretch together along with Rajio Taiso. We did the first one in that video, I've never actually seen the second one done. I object to jumping in a bathing suit so we didn't do that bit. But it was really good exercise and Ash and I helped Yumiko out because she's not a very strong swimmer.
