As usual, it has taken me till August to finally get in the pool. I can partly blame this summer's crazy cool weather on part of my delay. Today I conquered my preconceived ideas on what getting in the pool would be like for me.... exhaustive, shortness in my breath, disappointing. I can tell you it was none of those things and I actually enjoyed it. Karla dunked me a couple of times and we just relaxed in the cool water. I look forward to doing more next time. I am trying to do one 'out of the norm' adventure every week and this was this week's.
Looks like you had a good time...Dad
ReplyDeleteYou Esther Williams, you! Proud of you--as always.
ReplyDeleteI admire your spunk Angie. I can't swim. I'm afraid of water. I've tried to overcome my fears, even signed up to take lessons at the YWCA years ago, but each time I would panic when it came time to put my head under water and blow bubbles. I quit. Several friends told me they would teach me and when I got in the water with them to try they would duck me first thing and thought it was funny. That broke my trust, so here I am years later still afraid of water. I've given up on swimming.
