Scott has been trying to convince me to try swimming for awhile now. I decided to give it an honest effort today because I want to be able to do a triathlon. I decided to stop caring about what onlookers might think and to just do it! I just started with 10 laps, one time across the pool counting as one. (I know it sounds pathetic, but I have never really done it before.) The sad thing is that 10 was just about all I could do. It was very nice and realaxing to be in the water. The hardest thing for me with swimming is the breathing and the more I relaxed the easier it came. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel and I actually really enjoyed it. Good goggles and ear plugs are key so you don't have to worry about anything but the swimming itself. I just took it nice and slow and I want to gradually increase my distance each time. I am going to start swimming twice a week and add 2 laps each time, maybe even more depending how it goes. So...triathlon here I come! I really recommend you all to try it! Especially for those of you like me that are not comfortable with it. We all have to start somewhere right?Good Luck!!
