Since I’ve been spending so much time in the pool, I decided it was time I updated my swimming wardrobe and get a new ’sporty’ suit.  But, since I’m not really an avid swimmer, I didn’t want to spend much money on something I’d likely only be wearing in the gym’s pool.  

I bit the bullet and ordered a swimsuit from SwimOutlet.com.  But not just any swimsuit— a grab bag swimsuit.  

Basically, you tell them your size and what brand you want, and they pick a random discontinued style and send it to you for like, 75% off the regular cost of ‘this years’ model.  I’d read reviews of people being disappointed by the crazy print patterns, but what did I care?  I only paid $14 for it.  That’s right. $14.  

It was kind of like Christmas, waiting with great anticipation to see what my present was.   

When my special delivery arrived, I was pleased beyond all expectations.  I may have even squealed with excitement.  It was like hoping for a pony and getting a racehorse.  

Behold, my shiny new REVERSIBLE, non-gaudy, totally awesome, totally “look at me, I swim!” suit:

It’s like getting TWO suits for the price of ONE! Again, $14.  

I’m in love with it and I’m actually more motivated to go to the pool now that I look like a swimmer, instead of some random girl taking up valuable lane space in a bikini. 

Maybe, just maybe, I’ll become a swimmer.

Nah….I’m a runner, just confined to a pool. I’ve yet to even put my head underwater
