Learning to Swim: A New Beginning

Today was my very first day at the swimming club—a moment I’ve been putting off for far too long. But I finally did it. I took the step, signed up, showed up, and got into the water. 

It mostly all went smoothly; I learned the basic things like how to float, and I felt surprisingly calm. The water felt welcoming. I could feel myself picking up the basics little by little. Most importantly, I didn’t feel out of place. Walking out of the pool, dripping wet, I felt something else: confidence. I actually want to go back tomorrow. That feeling alone tells me this journey is going to be worth it. 

This is just the beginning, but I’m glad I started. Let’s see where this path leads—one splash at a time.
