I feel like Nemo

Do you remember that scene in Finding Nemo where the fish just had to keep swimming and they felt like they weren't going to accomplish anything. And Dori said, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming!" Or something like that...I feel like that right now! Just keep swimming, I'm not really getting anywhere because I am going back and forth in a pool but I will just keep swimming. I am getting better at it so I guess I am getting somewhere but it is almost worse that running laps on a track. You always end up in the same place. That being said, if I didn't always have the option of stopping at the wall I think drowning might be a real threat.

Top 10 Things I've Learned
10. Proper swim goggles are very important
9. When trying to learn flip turns, avoid the bottom of the pool at all costs
8. Take a few lessons
7. Breathe before you are out of breathe! You absolutley can't breathe under water no matter how hard you try!
6. Avoid putting on a lap suit over a sunburn - ouch!
5. I can't keep up with the others, so don't even try!
4. I CAN float!!!
3. Tuesday 7pm is water aerobics, if you don't want to see a woman in a skirt coming at you swim at another time!
2. The wall comes up fast and hard
1. I am so grateful I'm not a fish!
