motely Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 That's what I feel I need. I remember reading something about this when I first signed up. Tonight is the night I have been planning to start swimming. There is an open Adult Master swim at the YMCA tonight and I was thinking I would go and see what it was about. But now those demons are creeping into my head giving me lots of excuses not to go. I'm starting to get anxious about all the reasons I am not good enough to do this. Excuses from, I'm still sore from running this weekend, to fears I will somehow be embarrassed by my appearance or skill in the pool. UGH...all these voices telling me I'm not good enough. And all I want to do is talk to someone about helping me improve my swimming. I always blow things way out of proportion in my head. Right now, I am resolved to overcome those obstacles and go, but a lot can happen in the next 7 hours...lol 1 Quote My First Challenge! Link to comment
motely Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 So, I did end up going to the Y, but the class was not at all what they had previously told me. It was a class for competitive swimmers which I absolutely am not. But I was able to stay and swim some laps, so that was good. At least I overcame my fears and went. 6 Quote My First Challenge!

Padraic Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Way to go! Were you able to talk to any of the other swimmers? 1 Quote Link to comment
