Semi-Wordless Wednesday: A Swimming Compliment

I swear to God that this is a direct quote:

Gotta keep the swimming up! I won't quite get there, but I hope to be closing in on a quarter million yards in the pool for the year! (My previous biggest year being 178,000 yards.)

UPDATE: Whoops. In my early morning stupor, I associated 225,000 yards with being "a quarter million. Not 250,000, which is actually correct. I could be close to 225,000 yards - I should be well over 220,000 if December doesn't disappoint.
