Baseball season over

Well today is Day 1 of post baseball season. What to do? What to do?

Victor starts swimming but it is such a solitary sport. Even when you are training with other kids, your head is underwater and you are alone with yourself underwater. The only time you are alone in baseball is when you are standing in the field. When you are all in the bullpen, they get to hang around. Plus they learn to work with others in baseball. You have to be aware of your surroundings and other people and throw or catch the ball, which involves other players.

Swimming. You swim laps and then you get to talk for 5 seconds between sets. The rest of the time, you are swimming with your head underwater alone with your thoughts. Pretty painful.

But it is what I know how to do without thinking. I swam for 10 years and taught swim team and lessons for 10 years. I was the best.

Plus I think that Victor wants to really do BMX racing.
