So I found out two things today: #1 Trying to swim like you swam when you were captain of the Swim team like 4 years ago after you haven't swam much since then isn't a good idea. Me, Masha and Tasha were swimming, and the plan was to swim pretty far out to a boat. Now back in the day I could reach it within a matter of seconds. However this wasn't back in the day. I got winded about halfway out there, and here's where the second thing comes in. I discovered I have a little fear of...See this is confusing. It's either the fact that I couldn't see to the bottom of the water, or the fact that I've seen all those movies with the sea creatures and all that, and even though I KNOW there was nothing there, I didn't really know it. You know? In any case I got really freaked out and swam back to the sand. All in all the beach was fun today. I definetly need to go swimming more often. You know, get back into the habit. The best way to describe what it was is the fear of Deep water. Oye, I've gotta stop watching horror movies.
