That wasn&#8217;t that big of a deal because that is what I have been doing at the rec center.  After the swim there was a thirty minute treading of water.  When that was done we practiced some recovery swimming techniques.  It lasted a total of two hours.<\/p>\n<p>I got home and cleaned up for the funeral.  We went to the Greenwood Cemetery for the funeral.  We had the service.  Jon and I were pallbearers.  We went out to the gravesite for a graveside service as well.
