Final Swimming Lesson: Treading and Diving in Deep Waters

Source

In my last lesson (Day 6), we learned to do the backstroke, or in my case, something that resembles that lol! Day 7 and 8 were uneventful, meaning they were just practice sessions of the 3 basic swimming strokes we have learned on previous days.  So I'll just skip over those two days and head to Day 9 which is pretty interesting.  For those who are still afraid of swimming,  I think you can expect your heart to go thumping.  Me?  I was so used to being afraid that it didn't matter anymore.  Either that or my heart has stopped beating that is why I don't feel the thumping anymore.  As always, just following instructions.

Swimming Lessons Day 2 : Treading the Waters

So, I lived to write about my first day at swimming lessons.  I must admit,  I am still having some anxieties just thinking about attending my 2nd day in swim class, knowing that my instructor wouldn't just let me stay in my comfort zone right at the pool gutter for the whole duration of the lessons.  Like I said, it's a mental battle for me.  A good way to prepare myself is by visualizing what I'll be doing next, but simply thinking about it sets my heart racing lol!  There's no escaping the inevitable and I have to eventually let go of one of my safety nets.
