I just have to share with someone.....
today I did 30 laps WITHOUT flippers! My previous personal best was 16 laps without flippers.
Now, to many, that won't sound like a big deal but...
- two years ago, I couldn't put my face in the water without severe panic
- two years ago, the 'swimming' I did do was in the Ester Williams style (head above water)
- two years ago, I was 300 pounds and didn't own a swim suit
Today, I swim 60-70 laps a couple times a week and my goal is to swim them all without flippers.
Oh, and when the weather permits, I regularly am in the ocean with my boogie board. Pretty good for a 50 year old woman who grew up in the land-locked midwest of the USA, eh?
