My first swimming lesson
Last Thursday, I had my first swimming lesson. Well, not really my first lesson. I took lots of lessons when I was a kid, but never learned because I was terrified of the water. There’s something very unsettling to not be touching something solid.
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to learn how to swim for a while. Since I’m going to Hawaii soon for our honeymoon and work is a little slow right now, I started taking private lessons. I had my first lesson on Thursday at the Pro Club. The pool was full of little 3 to 5 year olds getting lessons… and me. :-)
I started out blowing bubbles under water, trying to touch my toes (you start floating and rolling backwards), and then small pieces of the front crawl. I was planning to work out after my lesson, but a lesson filled of extremely tense work in the pool was enough for me. I wish I was like one of those little kids that aren’t yet smart enough to understand drowning. Then, learning to swim wouldn’t be that hard.
