Just Keep Swimming

I have had quite a history with the swimming pool. Started swimming lessons when I was 8 years old but Mummy brought all of us daughters to Lake Club (complete with floaties for me) way before that when we were toddlers. Switched around 4 swimming coaches; yes, I was a difficult child but one pool had a Giant Squid which scared me to tears (I AM SERIOUS) and one coach was rather pedophile-ish. Nonetheless, Mummy kept bringing us to Lake Club as well as Bukit Kiara to swim.

I swam with friends. I swam with my sisters. Eventually, I grew up and I hated swimming. I HATED IT. Ironically, there's a pool in my house but it's too retarded tiny to do laps anyways. Anyways, I swam today. ..after soooo long.. I swam laps today. And guess what? I liked it! I ACTUALLY enjoyed it! ..which is a great thing because besides the fact that swimming is a great form of exercise bla bla (trust me, I've had this lecture one too many times from Mummy) but I suffer from a minor scoliosis. I stress that it is minor but it can get worse and the only way to decrease the degree of it is to swim (to my agony).

Today's swim could be considered historical in so many ways so here's to many more swims and hopefully, my scoliosis getting better ;)

20x25m laps

It's a start!
