I am one hour from my first swim lesson at TCU. I am nervous about the water and starting this entire process. I am confortable in my current workout routine. Learning correct swimming technique or even swimmming in general is definitely out of my realm of comfort. I am just not comfortable in the water, I can't breath or float or glide through the water.
My swimming weaknesses have been a major setback in my athletic career. As I approach this swim lesson today, I am optomistic and hopeful that I can change. I go in today with an open mind and try to put my fears aside. I want to gain comfort in the water. I want to learn to breath. I want to move efficiently in the water.
Swimming is what I need to get me off my feet and take the pressure off my joints. I am excited to begin this journey, but the fear of failure is in the back of my head. There will be times I want to quit and I just might, but I plan to give this 100% and be patient as I try to change my relationship with water.
