Fresh Water - WTF!?

I hadn't been in fresh water since I started surfing regularly 5 months ago. I'm visiting my parents, and had a swim in their pool. Two things:

1) I sink! WOW, bouyancy is so much different the water feels foreign and strange.

2) I can swim like mad! Combination of lower water density and stronger arms mean I fly through the water compared to what I used to do.

Its so weird!

not getting hammered by waves every few seconds really helps the swimming also....
good to see you're noticing your fitness improve... bit of a boost to the confidence i'd say?
