Fighting to Float.
R and R, the two letters that can seem so small when put together but serve to provide such a huge personal impact on our daily lives. Without it, the mind would struggle and the body would barely cope. Rest and relaxation is not a component of healthy living that everybody can always secure an awful lot of, but without it functioning can become an impossibility.
I thought it would be useful to share one of the most relaxing actions that gives me great satisfaction. Hardly a problem for some people who take to it as mere babes in arms, for me I did not discover the joy of it until quite late in life. In learning and accomplishing the skill, I came to a new novelty that enabled me to experience this pleasant pastime, a relaxing but invigorating activity that I could go and engage in at any convenient time. What was it? You might have guessed already but for those who have not, swimming is the activity that I am talking about.
To be specific, while everybody else I seemed to know had already gained their water wings, I did not and could not learn how to swim despite many attempts to master the skill. Even though frequent visits to the public baths had seen me no further into my swimming pursuits, I still valiantly went in for holding the side rail and kicking like fury, I felt overwhelmed and underwhelmed by the prospect at the same time. I had a fear that I could not conquer and nobody to inspire or motivate me in the ways of the water. I aimed for a slick and smooth swimmer’s regime but alas in the swimming pool I never actually moved onto real swimming. Even now to claim that I can swim fantastically would be stretching my capability, instead I was taught a skill from which swimming could readily progress, I was shown an almighty ability that would later go on to benefit me in multiple ways.
Floating, dear readers, is definitely my friend. Before you try to puzzle this one out, let me explain further. This ability to float means mastery of the fear involved, that terror that had held me back and stopped me from attempting to actually learn how to swim.
Fighting to float taught me how not to go about swimming. Being able to relax first in the water was paramount, learning to focus just on the ability to float helped to allay my fears of sinking in the water, I stopped fighting the water, and through floating it was that in a controlled way I accomplished a love of the swimming pool. Instructions these are not in a conventional manner but loosely if you follow these tips, you might also think of floating as an accompaniment to your swimming experience. Just stand in chest high water and leaning back, push feet up from the floor, as your legs rise start to tense them slightly and subsequently your body will start to become horizontal with the surface of the water and hey presto floating has been achieved. Now the enjoyment part comes! I bet you never knew there was all this secret unveiling of the real benefits to floating, but in life there are so many struggles and strains that when you fight and achieve a floating aim, you open a door to much available benefit. Try not to take your swimming experience for granted because floating can teach you that need to slow down, pause for thought and think about the sensation of the water around your physical self. When in a heated swimming pool, just relax and close your eyes and enjoy the sensation of floating on the back. It sounds simple but some of the greatest pleasures in life often are and the contentment that you can attain in doing this is as though for a short while you are entering a perfect state of mind and body bliss.
The great thing is a heated swimming pool is not vital to experience the pleasurable benefit of
relaxation. Anywhere that you go to immerse yourself in an aqua activity, a suitable quite spot can be found, and can afford the opportunity to enjoy the total floating experience.
If only I had been taught how to float earlier, I would have experienced the boundless potential that it has in providing a relaxing introduction to the water. If you are having problems learning how to swim, why not try floating on the back first? Floating can be a simple but significant step to success.
