1) I have hydrophobia.
2) & I feel suffocated inside water in no time
Given (1) and (2) one can second guess how I must struggle at swimming. I have been trying for long to coordinate breathing with my hand and leg movements. Though I seemed to have 'mentally' grasped the breathing technique,and I apply it sometimes, but I start suffocating before long.
I vowed to myself today that, do or die, I will push myself to swim atleast twenty lengths of the pool. Voila, I was able to complete ten laps! And, fairly judging myself I swam decently. I decided that I will keep a count on my laps for the rest of summer and try to go for swimming thrice a week. The measly achievement of completing ten laps made me feel proud like nothing before.
Simple joys of life go a long way!
