The problem with improving something you struggle with is that once you can do it ok, people expect you to keep improving. Sure, that's the goal most people have. But sometimes isn't it ok to just be able to do it a little?? Who cares how well you can swim!?!
Last night my swim coach decided that I'm not longer allowed to use any kind of floatation device even for warm up!! I've been using just the paddle/kickboard thing. But noooo.. not anymore.
Some people would be happy with that. But not me. Know why?? Because that makes me have to go to the next step: putting my head under water and swimming. I swear that I thought I was going to have a panic attack last night when I tried it while holding onto the kickboard! I think that once I was able to stay under for 3 seconds. As in, that was the LONGEST.
I'm pathetic. I know it. I can't help it. I'm terrified of not being able to breathe.
