Learning is fun!

Especially if it is something interesting like swimming !!
After being a non-swimmer for so many years, I decided to take a deep plunge in water and enrolled myself for a swimming class.
Believe me, the experience has been mind blowing esp for a slow starter like me ...
though I had been wanting to learn the skill for a long time, i had am apprehension at the bottom of my heart that getting to swim after 20 years of age can be very difficuly for a person who is not physically active in sports!
I have had 2 classes and I'm quite confident of becoming a skilled swimmer in 2 months!
There are many sites that cover the basic aspects and levels of learning - the first one is exploring the water and getting used to water.
The class concentrated on these and there are simple techniques that help one in being acquainted to water - like wading through chest deep water, blowing bubbles, breathing, seeing under water etc.
I had some difficulty in learning 'Mushroom float' as i was scared of floating and always put my feet down and walked instead of air lifting my legs and leave the body to float! I was the only one to get stuck here and others went to the next steps. I practiced even after the classes were over and end of the day, i did float like mushroom ! Pat my back :-)
I am so confident now !!
