First Time Ever

I finished my swim lessons and tried swimming laps for the first time ever. You have to schedule the lanes and I didn't know what number was what, but when I got to the pool I told the lifeguard that it was my first time swimming laps or ever swimming in the deep end and I wanted to be next to the wall... just in case. He kindly switched me to the correct lane and ... I did it! Now I know that I can do it!

I get tired really quickly because the breathing thing is hard for me when swimming freestyle. I will continue to work on that, but I am really proud after being afraid to be in water over my head for years.

I am grateful for the lessons I learned from you about getting acclimated to water and swimming underwater. Also the lessons about how to breathe before even getting into the water. I believe that both those lessons helped me tremendously. The lessons they give at the Y are good but I guess they have to push everyone to the next step quickly just by the nature of things.

Thank you Coach Jeff and Coach Meredith.
