Swimming

[badfalcon]

I went swimming this evening for the first time in.. ooh a good 20 years. Now, for anyone who doesn't know, I have various joint/leg issues and walk with crutches so this was kind of A Big Deal. I was utterly terrified going into that pool. Terrified of not being able to remember how to swim, of cramping, of being asked to leave because I couldn't

I'm proud of you, too! I love swimming and this summer haven't had chance to go to the pool, beach or river. I'm missing it.

You can swim twice as much for both of us.

Yay for taking a risk on doing something that you hadn't done for awhile :-) Woot!

Very well done!

Yay! You go you :)

Swimming is actually good exercise if you have joint/leg issues. My mother's sister have taught exercise/training swimming classes for people who needed to go easy on their joints.

How awesome! I'm glad it worked out, even if it was hard work, and that you're going back! Kudos to you!
