dive right in

Started my swimming class last night.

Love it! Clean pool, small class size, and incredibly comfortable locker facilities.

I am excited about taking up yet another new sport. At the same time, I am overcoming my fear of water. I had a near-drowning experience as a kid, at my first swimming class, and I had refused to learn swimming.

Over time, the fear of water has been a barrier to having fun. When I was in Brazil, I couldn't go wind surfing even though the water was perfect.

Just another reminder that if I am willing to take risks, the outcome can be very rewarding.
