Swim is hard work for me but I am going to keep trying

I had always wanted to learn how to swim but was very scared of water that is over my head. My parents would not let us sign up for swim lessons besides that they did not have money for us to do us. Tragedy had struck relatives when my cousin mysteriously drown and he was an expert swimmer. So for years, I did not know how and was to afraid to do so.

So here I am, a hefty 200lb I said I am going to fight my fears. I enrolled at adult swim lessons at the Gypsy Divers Aquatic Center. It was pretty scary but Mr. Ed there just knew exactly how to deal with fears. In no time, he had us moving along. I realize that I floated real good so it was like I did not have to work too hard to stay afloat.

Well, I am no longer 200lb and with the weight training, I gained more muscle weight and I never believe this but muscle weights more than fat. Now how can that be? 100 lbs of muscle is the same as 100 lbs of fat - it is still 100 lbs but it is the distribution and density of it. I guess I am just more dense now :-)

So now when I go to swim class, Mr. Ed said I sink now so we got a new challenge ahead of us and the challenge of learning my strokes.

So wish me luck in my endeavors
