Breathe In....Breathe Out...

From a long time I was planning to do this. But never got a chance like this. During my childhood my grandmother and after that my mom stopped me from doing this. They stopped me because they heard a lot of things which went wrong during this. I always wanted to do this, but I respect their words so kept on stopping myself from doing this...You may be wondering about what I am talking here...
Would you like to take a Guess after reading the title.. :).

It doesn't mean that I don't respect their words now...But yes, If I stop myself I will never learn this...Yup...Thats the right guess...Swimming :)))).

Before this day...I was twice trying to practice how to do this...was never successful. I get panic very soon and think I will drown. Monic build that courage in me that everyone can float if we have a lung filled with air ,the relaxed body and little courage.


We both decided to go for a swim on a weekend. As soon as we entered the swimming pool. There were lot of swimmers. Young and OLD ! Most of them were diving in the pool. This gave me a little courage to go for it. I mean to learn the swim.;).
Initially, I was cheating myself by walking in the water and moving my hands as though I am swimming later I thought that it wont help me much. So decided to listen to Monic's instructions. Instructions were breathe IN outside and breathe OUT in water and go on and ON. But I was unable to perform this act. Later she thought me some style where I can keep my head upright, right on top of water. I tried and succeeded. Monic calls it Butterfly, but I feel they should have called it FROG.:D.
Because when I see the people who perform this they look like frogs in the pool.;).

After an effort of 20 mins for try outs. I started to believe in myself that I can do it and was OFF for a swim. I could swim for about 14 to 18 feet. But now I have got the courage to increase the distance in future.

Doing what you feel is always better if you have a chance.
Chance may repeat but not AGE !!!
