First swim lesson

Tonight was my first swim lesson...and it was AWESOME!!!  I love every minute of being in the water.  I wasn't the least bit afraid.  My friend De-De the president of the Austin chapter of Sisters Tri-ing helped me out a great deal.  She taught me how to breath under water.  How to turn my head and get air and go back in and breath. 

I'm so excited.  She taught me a few other things but I'm sleepy and I can't remember.

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a paddle board so that I can continue to practice on my own.  This is going to be a great summer!!!

I wish you all a happy, fun filled weekend!!!

That is so cool! I'm taking swim lessons this summer too! I can definitely float like a champ but getting anywhere fast is not my specialty! You have a great weekend!

That's awesome!!! I wish I could swim but finding a pool to do it in in NYC without paying through the nose is next to impossible. You go girl!
