Super athlete (not!)

Current mood:  accomplished

I just came back from my swim class and I’m very happy with my progress. I am not deathly afraid of the water as I used to be. I still have a healthy regard for its ability to be the scene of my final moments. That underscores my reason for taking the class – to be able to operate in water without fear while understanding my limitations while in it. The whole mind-body connection is still a little off because I can’t discern the feel of the right way to do things as opposed to the wrong way. I could do it either way and it would feel the same to me. I recognize Rome wasn’t built in a day therefore I’m trying to enjoy the process as I move along from world-class drowner (the old me) to competent swimmer. After all, there are oceans out there in which I’d like to swim and dolphins who haven’t met me yet.
