John, Michael and I went swimming at the y today. The aquafit class was running at the same time and was dismissed at the exact moment when we finished swimming. I headed to the showers one step in front of the group. As I tell what happened, its important to visualize properly, specifically that Aquafit seems to appeal to women of a certain age and body type...okay, older women who may be a bit heavy set.
As I left the shower area, wrapped in my towel there was a woman who was insistent on speaking with me despite the fact that she was half naked. We finished our short conversation and I headed to the dressing room. She wrapped herself in a towel and also headed to the locker area. Of course, our lockers were right beside each other. I started getting my stuff out. She tried to make her way to her locker. And then time stopped, like it always does in the middle of a tragedy. The woman tripped and started stumbling towards the ground. Before I knew it I was grabbing at her, in an attempt to save her. I was clutching something soft and fleshy. Thankfully it was her arm. I breathed a sigh of relief, dressed and ran out of the changeroom, vowing to never end swimming at the same time as aquafit ever again.
