My swimming lesson

I have decided to take up swimming lessons, after a long phobia of water and to get out of the shadow of my fellow schoolmate’s death.

It is also due to 2 reasons why the change. 1st is during the hot summer in the UK. Then pple are enjoying the cool blue sea water while I stay up at the beach. WHAT A SHAME! 2nd, my niece & nephews are my inspiration to learn swimming again. Hunting time!

Due to my differing off days, I need to find one instructor who is flexible in his/her time. So I turn to the internet, and I found one. Great, all meet my requirement: flexible time, one to one coaching. I send in my application, and ta ta!! I started my swimming lesson today.

I was still a bit scared of the water. However, my coach is very patient and taught me to stay underwater and blow bubbles, practising my kicks etc. So much and better learnt than my short stint during the sec sch’s swimming class.

Glad to find one coach like that….Hopefully I can pick up the skills faster…but somehow I don’t like the feeling of the quietness of the underwater…..
