I didn't catch his name

Asian Dude in the Hot Tub

More slender yet also much more muscular than me

More succinct than the others - everything he said was total prophecy

Dax showing us how to do it the hard way

I thought I had already met all my swim angels
This book had been written in my mind already
I thought no one would surpass Angel Aces
I thought I'd learned all there was to learn

Which made angel six even more satisfying

Swim angel number six had a truly killer body
He dropped knowledge and truth bombs
Left, right and center

I could hardly believe what I was witnessing
Here I thought I was the smart one

I had forgotten - that some people
Were doing this way before me

What Swim Angel number six ultimately left me with is this simple statement
Among other things, he casually stated - "I don't swim that far any more"

Hearing him say that has given me a lot of comfort in my sessions since
Seeing his body has been permission for easy days
I was trying to drive myself so much
I was trying to win it in a day

We don't win it in a day
It was hurting my body

Doing extra distance
Is not exactly needed

I gazed at his slim 49 YO body
He seemed like a man with no cares in the world

We don't know who will bless us next
With the profoundly perfect insight

Swim angel six enjoyed the hot tub
As much as I did with one difference

He enjoyed doing it before his workout
He sat in there happily for a long time

This created a nice opportunity for me
He was easy to approach and get chatting

I had just finished and he hadn't yet started
It kind of seemed like he was procrastinating

After I recognized his mega skills, it opened up a whole new chat world
He explained that giving his daughter an elite swimming youth
Led her to become a lifeguard when she was younger

Later after that, she had a private swim-coaching job
She retained that well into her young to mid 20s
Dad of the woman who turned swim into money

Wow.

It was the first time I'd actually spoken with a person who turned tech swim into money
The gift of tech swim essentially set her up financially during the hardest times in her life
Having the skill gave her personal viability and anchored her into a successful marriage
I could not believe what I was hearing and yet at the same time I knew it was true

If I wasn't writing this book before that - I definitely was writing it afterwards
