Into the Deep

Today felt a lot like yesterday — steady progress, more confidence, and a growing sense of comfort in the water. 

But there was one exciting difference: I went to the deeper part of the pool using the kickboard. Not only that — I managed to do nearly two full rounds! It felt like a big step, and honestly, it brought a quiet kind of joy. 

I'm still working on technique, still far from perfect, but moments like this remind me how far I’ve come.

Confidence in Progress

Another day in the water—and I can feel the difference.

Today, I practiced combining hand movements with paddling in my own way. It wasn’t perfect, and I know there’s still a lot to improve. But I did it. And more importantly, I felt confident while doing it. 

That confidence—even more than the technique—is what satisfies me most right now. I’m not afraid, I’m not stuck, and I’m not giving up. I’m learning, growing, and becoming more sure of myself every time I show up.
