Well, who gave me the crazy notion to start swimming at 30(something). Am I out of my mind, what was I thinking?
My swim instructor must think my classmates and I know how to swim already. He proceeds to ask us what the four basic strokes are - Freestyle, Breaststroke, Floating (front and back), Backstroke, etc. Then he says 'Well you will know all of these by the end of two weeks. Okay jump in the water' . Hello we are starting out in 5ft in really deep water with a movable floor.
At this point I am mortified, I don't know how to swim and neither does anybody else in this class. Needless to say we all learned how to freestyle, front/back float and backstroke. That was just day one.
Today- Day 2
We learned how to tread water, back float again and the breaststroke. Despite everyone's drowning fear I have to say I am doing pretty good. I'll keep you posted.
