i went for swimming lessons when i was still in secondary school. it didn’t quite work since i had this horrible fear of deep water. as soon as my feet could not touch the floor of the pool i would freak out and try as fast as i could to get out of the water. it didn’t impress the other learners who happened to be much younger than i was but were brave when facing the deep waters. since then, i never attempted to go anywhere near the deeper end of the pool. but i really wanna learn how to swim so i can go snorkling up north of western australia.
