I’ve always wanted to like swimming.
I love the water. I’m not scared. But fitness swimming has never felt natural and I’ve never been speedy.
I read about other people’s love of swimming, Tracy’s and our friend Savita’s, our regular blogger Bettina’s, and I think, “I want that.” That’s how I want to feel about swimming.
So I’m working on changing my attitude. You can do that, you know.
Part of my problem is that I love swimming outside, not in indoor pools
Here’s me in Bora Bora!
A few years ago, I tried it again. See Starting to swim again and the first trauma is bathing suit shopping.
Maybe I should so swimming with Sally. See her post Learning to Swim and Loving My Body in the Process
Instead, I’ve signed up for semi private swimming lessons at the university pool. It’s a six week session, two evenings a week, half hour lessons. It’s not a huge commitment and I’ll report back on how it goes.
Anyway, wish me luck!
Have you ever worked hard to like a thing? What strategies have you used? Did it work?
