Well, this year I finally decided to suck it up and take lessons. I don’t know if these lessons were very good. (I have my last lesson tonight. It is only 8 “adult swim” lessons half an hour each. I really want to learn to swim. I am angry that my parents didn’t make me learn when I was younger. I know this was a terrible mistake that I do not intend to duplicate.
I have my last lesson today. Moving my legs, arms and knowing when to breathe all at the same time is a little difficult. I think I’m doing better than I did but I do not claim that I can “swim.” I think the push for me to learn this year was because my friend and I are going to Florida for a “girlcation” and I really want to snorkle and go in the ocean and not be too scared. I actually did pretty well treading water. I am still terrified to go to the deep end though.
I have my last lesson tonight and then Friday my friend and I are going to practice. I hope that practice will make it easier and I will be able to do it!
