Swimming Solo 19 months ago

I went on my first solo trip to the gym today. That should be a huge deal given my history with neuroses of this kind, but my buddy taking me there a few times before she left really helped out. I didn’t feel too self conscious and I got a few decent laps of freestyle in with noticeable improvement from lap one to lap three.

A thousand mile journey... 20 months ago

Went for a swim tonight with a friend who used to swim competitively. Managed to have fun for over two hours, but didn’t make as much progress as I wanted. At least I got over my fear of the gym pool. Plan on going again on Friday and working on my form some more. My freestyle is just silly. I have major issues with my breathing pattern (I’m a nose inhaler and mouth exhaler and swimming requires the reverse) and also that I just don’t like to stick my head far into the water so my legs and butt kind of sink. I must be a riot to watch. I’m just glad to finally have started. It only gets better from here.
