a regular

The hot tub is down. The lane swim time is up. I am offered the sauna, which is billed as being nice and hot. I'm courteous, and ask if there is a public swim next, thinking that if they are closing up, I'll go home. I'm told that I'd be able to stay anyway, because I'm a regular.
Naturally, I spend my time in the sauna replaying those word, which, as with any words, become distorted the more you say it.
a regular.
a regular.
aregular.
irregular.
irregular? what do they know!
But it's closest to the truth. I have been irregular at the pool.
Things could be worse. . . .

It was 1300m. A mix. And I only had a half hour, so I consider it awesome!
awesome.
awesome.
and so on. . . .

warm-up (500m): mixed.
"technique" (let's use the term loosely)(400m): 2 x (100 kick, 100 pull).
swim (400m).
===1300m

Wow, to be given the status of "a regular" at the ALP, you have achieved something great here my friend ;-) Does the title come with punctual lane rope service and quality lifeguarding?

How is your swimming going? Do I sense the need for some butt kicking, motivational bs?

I hope you are well!!!
