My First Time to Swim

Saturday, April 11, 2009

It's Black Saturday and it's so hot, so out of no where just right after lunch we decided to take a dip on Villa Erlinda Pavillon again. My brother, Bebe and I went for a dip and it was so much fun than the first time. We didn't have to pay for a cottage since there's no more cottage left, and besides we didn't bring anything else aside from our towels.

I hadn't really had the chance to learn to swim. I mean, my dad would teach me before but it was very traumatic that I wouldn't want to be somewhere above 5 ft of water. Everytime we'd go to the beach or to a private pool, I'd just stay in a corner and just watch my friends swim like fishes.

I started the hour with just watching my brother and hubby goof around, then I tried to make my heavy but cute body float. It did, huwaw.. Then I tried it again, this time I opened my eyes in the water, the feeling was great. Then I tried flapping my feet, it worked. Then I used my hands, I moved a little.

Hubby noticed it and started teaching me a thing or two with swimming, I followed. I was so happy that I was able to move and swim a three meter range. This might be so easy for other people but for me it's an accomplishment.

It's the best thing that ever happened to me this week and for sure I'll try my best to learn more tricks in swimming. Though I find it tiring, I bet it's a good exercise for someone as big as me. You should try it too..
