I registered for the City’s Learn to Swim program – today was the D-day, Day One of the training sessions.
Considering it was my first time in the pool for a long time, and I retain an almost pathological fear for water, I think I did ok. Granted I swallowed a fear gulps of the pool water, filled my ears with it, and generally made a nuisance of myself.
There are positives though- I am certainly not the worst of my batch, there are a few other Nigerians to alleviate any feeling of lostness, and the instructor adds a whole new dimension to the definition of hilarious. The one downside is there are no beautiful women- just flat chested, keg bellied blokes like yours truly.
As a minimum, I shall be back for lesson two… That takes some beating!
lool, aww, but I love swimming 😀
