Swimming Week 2: Let Go

Week two has been all about letting go. There is so much knowledge and awareness that I have about swimming now...I now know that we are more buoyant when our heads are under water. Our bodies naturally float in deeper water...It's all about how you move your legs...

I know more stuff now. But I couldn't do more stuff until I let go. Cuz I can be intellectual as much as I want, but if I don't allow myself to let go of the wall, of the flotation device or of my inhibitions, I just will not swim.

So after my first lesson, I went back to the pool alone and worked up the courage to let go...It felt so good to kick my feet up and just go for it.

This week, I learned how to free float. I can move in the water now.

I am not able to do a back float yet, but I could do more than I was willing and able to do last week. And that feels damn good,
