NaBloPoMo, personal, swimming, ten on tuesday

Its time for Ten on Tuesday again 😀

So I have been going for swimming classes for about 1.5 weeks now, so I should write something about the class right 🙂 and what better than writing about people

1. You you you lady who swim like a fish, who floats like a fish, who when dipped your head in the water for the first time it felt like you were made for water, you make me totally J :mrgreen:

2. The 63 year old auntie who has come to learn swimming at this age, please know that I totally admire you, admire the fact that at this stage you are ready to take on a new challenge. Kudos to you.

3. Lady in the hot pink swim suit which shows more that it hides, I admire your guts and more than that I admire your figure, with 10yr old and a 4 yr old please to tell me how do you manage that

4. Dear 6 or maximum 7 year old girl, please to go slow and not give us a complex by doing two laps of the olypmic size swimming pool non stop

5. Dear typical auntie character it will do you great good if you focus on your floating and kicks rather than telling me what am I doing wrong, you see I am able to swim accross the pool now whereas you are not even able to float fully. So pay attention to what the coach is telling rather than trying to become the coach yourself and who knows you might even learn swimming 😉

6. The very cute cleaning person of the club pool area, who greets us everyday with a smile, asks whether we have had our lunch and wishes us luck for the class. Thank you lady you cheer me up and make me feel confident before I get into the pool

7. The very friendly and encouraging lady who is always always motivating everyone in the group to do more, to go through that last few strokes and make it to the other end of the pool. God bless you

8. The gorgeous girl with little curls falling on the face, all of 5 years who comes in the batch next to her and waves to me everyday with a lovely smile, girl you make my heart beat faster and start uterine contractions, u make me want to have a girl

9.  Dear friend who introduced me to the club classes, who started learning in the batch before me, I thank you again. I know I technically didnt meet you there but this post would have been incomplete without a mention to you, you made what I always wanted possible.

10. Last but not the least, dear coach you are a rocking person you. Know that. I love the way you push us just enough and leave us alone to manage for sometime, how you let us know that we can do it, make us feel confident to attempt by ourselves and still are there always around for everyone if we lose our balance. Who know exactly what we needed the first day and exactly what we need on 9th and dear coach I still fail to understand how do you manage to give a B.Com exam in the morning, come to teach in the afternoon and go study in night. Kudos and thanks

Where we attempt to swim | Post 9

learning, learning to swim, NaBloPoMo, swimming

I have always wanted to learn swimming, besides being an excellent workout option which is perfect for me since I suffer from 1001 issues of joint problems, the knee pain, the slipped disc, the broken ankle which still hurts and also the Carpal Wrist, it also is a life saving skill. A skill I think everyone should know and this belief was re iterated sometime back when Ojas fell in water. That day I wowed to myself that this year whatever happens I will learn swimming and that’s we are attempting these days.

When summer started frantic inquires were made for the swimming classes and what we came to know was surprising since the either the timings were weird 8:30 in the night (when is one supposed to have dinner?) or 6 in the morning (now come on you don’t accept me to wake up that early do u?) or the prices like 7K for 10 classes. Sigh. I also inquired about someone who will come and teach me and ojas in our colony the idea delighted me but was soon chucked when he told me he will take about 700/person/hour for the class that would mean about 1400 for both of us together and if we take about 10 classes to learn it would mean about 14K, the thought itself made me faint 😉

And by luck I came to know of this swimming class which charges a decent amount (actually quite reasonable according to blore standards if u ask me) and was holding classes in the afternoon at 3pm, now that time works perfectly for me as Ojas usually takes his afternoon nap during vacations from 2:30-4, that means I go after he sleeps and I am back just after he wakes up 🙂 Today was the second class I attended and I must say I am loving it… And I was able to float today a great feeling I tell u 😀
