Swim like you've never swim before

Swimming is pure joy when you rekindled the flame. I learnt swimming when I was 5, trained like crazy till I was 15 and then I stopped because I realized:

- I gain more achievements in Running.
- I was a fool to choose Running instead of Swimming.

Don't get me wrong, I trained for Running too when I was young till now. Just that the trainings will not be as intense as when I am training for two sports instead of one.

I used to hate the cold water at the pool. I used to hate people staring at me while I walk to the pool.I used to hate people over-taking me while I am swimming. I used to hate people laughing at me when I was still using the float. I used to hate my older brother for being such a good swimmer and I look like a fish that can't save herself even when IN the water.

Things changed when I became good. (At least, for myself)

I started loving the cold water. I started loving the way I capture people's attention even before I was in the water. I started loving the way I swim past others even though I was just warming up. I started loving to see the look on others when I am not using the float and when I am using, I started loving their amazed looks because I can swim and not trying to keep myself afloat. I started loving my progress as compared to my elder brother (he still wins me in speed but not in stamina).

I love it when I can dive and stay down till more than half the pool. I love it when my lanky figure go to limits where others might not have. I love the silence indulged in the pool because I won't have to care about anything else.

Enough said.

Time to hit the pool for another ten laps since the ten before was insufficient to satisfy my adrenaline.

Love,
