Do I have to open my eyes under water
2 years ago
I took swimming lessons at the YMCA when I was about 8 years old…but my fear of drowning kept me from really learning how to swim. I can glide across the shallow end of the pool…but I keep my eyes closed.
My wife, mother, five year old son and I are currently taking private swimming lessons. I’ve learned to float on my back, but I am having trouble learning to rotate my head for breaths. I also refuse to open my eyes under the water. Old mental blocks die hard.
