I haven't shared with many people irl because I'm a little embarrassed still.
But, at almost 30, I am finally learning to swim. I had a bad incident with swimming as a child and have been terrified of water and swimming ever since.
With the encouragement of my therapist, I recently took the plunge and started swimming lessons! It is a 30 minute class once a week, all women and I LOVE IT!! I feel so much joy after each lesson even when I haven't done great. The act of pushing myself out of my comfort zone has felt so empowering.
Now I'm not swimming properly yet and I know it'll take a while to let go of some of the fear. But I'm doing it and I wanted to share with this community of people who always push themselves to do hard things 😊
