I’m not deathly afraid of water…I love the Lake, Beach and Ocean; I even like hanging out poolside and wading in the water…just as long as it’s in the 4ft or below section! I really, really want to finally conquer, no master, things like wading and swimming in the “deep” side. I’ve taken lessons w/the Red Cross 2x in my life, but never swam enough to master what was taught. These episodes did help relieve some childhood anxieties, and build sonme confidence and now I think I’m ready to call myself a real, skilled swimmer. This is definitely something I’m going to do this year! I’ve already reseached a couple places, one of which is my neighborhood recreation center. It even offers several Aquatics classes. The challenge now: making the time!
