The AC in my house isn’t working, so after my bike ride today, I went swimming. I was there for an hour and when I got out I questioned myself why I did. I didn’t have a time limit, nor did I have a place to be. In the pool I feel comfortable. I relax. My muscles don’t strain and my mind is free. I can go as fast or as slow as I want and I don’t sink. Just knowing that gives me confidence to learn how to breathe; inhale above the water and exhale below the water. It sounds logical enough, but it takes practice. All in all, I like floating, relaxing and breathing, who doesn’t?
I’m happy to have ‘discovered’ swimming.
