Getting Schooled!

Yesterday was the first day in my WHOLE life when I went forward with my kicks. I had an excellent coach. John swims channels whenever he feels like it. He's an olympic level long distance swimmer and he was helping me improve my freestyle stroke. At the start, I was abysmal. He was chuckling :-). But with a few minor corrections in my form, I was doing awesome! When I put the fins on, I was like a motor boat, just flying across the water. People used to make fun of me cause I'd go backwards with my kicks :-D.

Funny, but it took a little guts to admit I suck in front of everyone, but with the right attitude to try to learn something, someone was able to help me get to the next level. AND I am not stopping now. Off to the beach to do some more swimming!
