If I was going to go for it I decided I needed to be prepared (all the gear and no idea scenario!) So chatting to various swimmers I came up with a packing list….
I was all packed and ready to jump into my first lesson.
This was the worst part. The past memories came flooding back to me - the feeling of panic and mouthfuls of water. Speaking to my family and friends, I had really built this up in my head (probably more than I should have) and I even welled up just before the class. I was really nervous! My fiancée came with me for moral support and sat in the viewing area. Knowing he was there and could swim no problem, I knew there was someone there who could save me if I did drown!
I was really nervous!
Sitting on the side of the pool waiting for my class I chatted to two of my classmates – who by the sounds of it struggled with swimming just as much as I did. Then it was time to start... My instructor put me at ease straight away. Before I even got in the pool, she asked me my previous swimming experience. She also advised me that the pool went from 1.2m to 1.5m and our lessons are only in the shallow end. If I needed to stop swimming I could still touch the floor. When I finished my first lesson I was so relieved that I didn't drown! I'm interested to see what we're doing next week.
