Swimming….what’s that all about?
Posted by admin
Who ever invented swimming?
Today I found out why I had avoided the long black line for so long.
To put it simply…..I suck. After 50 metres I felt ordinary and thought that I might just take some time to warm up. Another lap and it was confirmed….I CAN”T SWIM!!!
After refusing the offers of rescuing from a squad of 7 year olds, I managed to push through a few more laps to complete a very slow 900m. There was a bucket load of rests, and even more water swallowed during my first session.
Got home and searched for a swim coach online. Chatted to some people on Transitions about swimming and gained some encouragment knowing I wasn’t alone.
Think it’s going to take me a while to get a hang of this swimming gig…especially if I am going to do it for 3.8km.
Stay tuned….
