Peacock's Freestyle & Butterfly

Have you ever met someone so dreadfully fearful of water?
That is, yours truly~

This vid. is a living proof that if I can do it, ANYBODY can do it! I kid you not. In my 30-something yrs. I haven't dared learned swimming, simply b/c of my great fear of water. I'd feel I'd suffocate the minute I smelled chlorine, sight a swimming pool or an ocean. How I come to love fishing so much may be a different story.

Swimming seemed the only outlet (other than biking, which is another story) for slowing down Degenerative Meniscus, or w/ whatever the docs diagnosed me. Thus, I'd picked up swimming a year ago. Ultimately, so I can continue to bboy, remember Breaking 4 Life!!

Needless to say, I've long ways to go, as my instructor, JW, never fails to remind me. My hands and arms doing the swooping out motion under water, not to mention my legs, feet & waves when it comes to kicking and butterfly, which happens to be my favorite! I can hardly believe it when I say swimming has now become an addiction. Almost to the point of going insane should I miss one night of it!

This vid. is a proud product of how I'm overcoming (yes, as I still continue to drink gulps of water, nonetheless) one of my worst Fears in Life.

I Believe In Miracles...
