Last week I completed 2 swimming lessons which I am extremely happy about and in 2 lessons I learnt 2 important things. Firstly, I like it as much as I thought I would and secondly, it is not as easy as I thought! As I already knew the floating and breathing technique to some extent my coach got me into practicing the kick and free style hand movement with a swimmin board. The biggest challenge at the moment is no matter how much I kick I don't seem to move through the water!!!! :). I think its the board, really! But apparently, you need the board to improve the technique so i found my self kicking in the same place more often than i liked. By the time I finished my lesson on the 2nd day I was so exhausted.
However I am not going to fall out after 2 lessons which is what my natural inclination is. So here's hoping I will continue to learn this super-important life skill, inspired by this super-influential blog!
So far I am well on track to make the most out of my career-break. At least I am on track with the 'fun' element of it and as per the 'academic' element, I reserve my comments since I am on a vow of positivity till 31st January.
Woo Hoo Chaths!!! This is great news! I'm sooo proud of you! It's really great that this has inspired you to go ahead with the swimming lesson (I am still avoiding that topic btw ;)) Looks like you are having a whale of a time! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Luv your comment on the academic side of the break :)
