Finally got to swim today. It was great. How is the weather where you are?

We've had a couple of weeks of cool and pleasant days here in the Bay Area. I enjoyed the 78 degree temperatures, but things had cooled down in the evenings to the point where I didn't feel like jumping into the pool. Today was different. We hit a high of about 96 F, and I jumped in the pool twice today. I got some work done from home, but didn't really have to go anywhere far away. It was good. I feel energized. And I enjoyed watching the Indian kids learning to swim while I laughed with their parents. Tomorrow I have to (get to?) work at the flaky preschool, so won't make it to the pool until later. But it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow, so I'll probably do an evening swim. How is the weather where you are?

Hot and humid here with temp at 99 with the heat factor. It was so humid you could barely breathe outside. We luckily got a rain shower this afternoon that left the air fresh and nice.

@TheHorse We had a heat wave the last three days of June, the temperature reached 31º C (88 F). During the month of July we never went over 29º C (84 F), but most of the time it is 27º C (80.5 F), that is a very pleasant temperature.

The flooding is pretty bad here after Tropical Storm Elsa came through, so we might all be swimming soon if this water doesn't start receding. And it doesn't help that we keep getting more rain dumped on us every day from our normal summer weather patterns.
