I really shouldn't let people from the gym bug me...but then again, they shouldn't be asshats either. I went to the gym to swim for an hour. These two girls in the pool were obnoxious. They kept horsing around. Now, I could have ignored them but they kept hanging on the lane lines and they almost kicked me in the face twice. They weren't actually swimming, they were just dicking around. Fine, take up the lane, but don't come in to mine! (Clearly I have personal bubble issues with swimming!) They also annoyed me with their bitching about their weight. I'm not saying that they don't have the right to bitch--I have no problem with the bitching, but please if you're going to bitch, stop making excuses and do something about it. Don't let me hear you (a few laps later) say that you love your pork rinds covered with lime juice and chili pepper (not kidding!). There was also some guy splashing about, like a child, trying to impress some bikini clad, tanorexic, blond. That was awesome, I so enjoy using a wet towel when I emerge from the pool. Am I wrong in thinking that this is a gym pool and therefore should be used for laps and other forms of legitimate exercise?
In spite of the annoyances (Memo to Me...find time when pool traffic is lower to go swimming for an hour!), I swam 1200 yards front crawl and 200 yards backstroke as active rest. I'm still working on figuring that in miles (cue Victoria the math wizard!), but I know it's over a half mile.

1200 yards is 0.68 miles... with the additional 200 yard backstroke you did 0.80 miles... woohoo!
So... I guess the "easiest" conversion is every 200 yards is approximately 0.115 miles... okay... it's not easy... the calculator might have to become your new best friend!
You're the best!!
I acutally tried the calculations that you gave me the last time. I wasn't sure if I did it correctly, so I didn't post the distance in miles...but you confirmed that I did!!--you're a great teacher! Now I just need to practice my conversions.
