Swimming - SO much better than running

Ah - the maternity bathing suit - quite flattering...I had borrowed Debo's bathing suit, but realized that I was hoping to get in enough swimming over the summer that I didn't want to wear it out, so I splurged on my own as well.

Let me just say that while pregnant, swimming is so much better than running. For obvious reasons, buoyancy is a key factor. In running, I just feel like I'm plodding along. In swimming, even though I'm not a great swimmer, it still feels rather effortless and I can't tell that I'm pregnant (unlike when I'm running).

There won't be any marathons in the water, but I am totally enjoying this summer workout option!
