We recently bought our first house! AND THERES A POOL!!! I think this means I need or should pick up swimming… from what I hear it’s amazing for fitness :) I swam on a team when I was a kid but honestly I haven’t gone swimming in years and especially laps… How do I swim straight? I remember always hurting my arms on the divider floaty things! I NEED to get better at this… I should purchase some goggles.

I have never been a strong swimmer, I learnt to swim mainly from diving and a very shortlived bout of swimming lessons. So I really don’t have much swimming endurance, which is really quite depressing when you’re on holiday with all your mates and they’re all out swimming in the ocean and you can’t join them due to lack of stamina.
I’m gonna start swimming at my local pool regularly, starting Monday. 3 times a week in the mornings. Once I’m firmly in this routine I will consider this goal complete.
Well, my main point of this goal is to become a strong swimmer. Is endurance and confidence something you can gain by teaching yourself? Or would it be worth doing more swimming lessons? I’m 18 and don’t really wanna do that latter, I’d feel a bit humiliated =[

i enjoy swimming. i went swimming often. it feels good floating on the water. in that period, i made myself be able to keep swimming for a long distance without any break, though i’m slow.;) well, it surprised my family. ‘cause one time we went to sea to swim, and i made my mind to see how far can i reach to, without telling them first. so, when i got quite far way from the beach, they seemed starting to get nervous. well, i’m sorry then, i should told them at first. by the way, they did wow to my capability. i’m a little bit satisfied with myself. well, i don’t swim for some years. there’s no any reason, just have no chance to go swimming. i want to start swimming again.:)

Enrolled for a SCUBA 2 year program at a local college, so I’ll be spending LOTS of time in the water over the next few months. This goal should be checked off in no time, but not until I actually swim regularly…
Three frogs were sitting on a fence and one decided to jump… How many were left???

I forgot for awhile that I actualy knew how to swim, but I did eventually manage to let go of the side. I didn’t want to get out, but now I’m so tired. It’s a good tired.

First week I tried and it rained, so coffee and cake won.
Second week, I ended up doing a booze run for the party.
Yesterday, we went and the accessible toilet is up a step with no turning circle. Hello? Therefore, inaccessible.
Trying another pool this Friday.
There’s a poem in there somewhere.
I pack a bag every week, I will eventually open it!

And, I’ve been in. Right now I just want to get cooled off on a break, but I think a few laps each morning will help loosen up before pedaling all day. Goal numero Uno.
