become a better swimmer

I’m actually getting pretty good at this whole swimming thing. I’m still not comfortable going in the deep end, but I think that’s nerves more than anything else. There are, I think, four weeks left of swimming lessons, so hopefully by then I will be less chicken.

I’ve started taking swimming lessons! And it turns out that I’m actually a better swimmer than I thought I was. But I’m still not at all confident. But, hopefully, 6 weeks from now I will be.

There’s a pool in my new neighborhood and I’ve become obsessed with going swimming. Right now, I’m not pushing myself too hard. I’m working on coordinating my breathing and building up a bit of stamina.

Spent most of last splashing around on an idyllic tropical beach. Practice, practice.

When I was little, I was terrified of going underwater. I think it’s because my charming brothers liked to toss me into the swimming pool before I could swim. Grr. Anyway, I eventually got over that and taught myself how to swim as a teenager, but I’m still not a very strong swimmer. I’d like to get better.
