Your First Swimming Experience by vonn(f): 9:52pm On Dec 23, 2014
I'm not usually comfortable near water(stream). I still don't the mind to stand at a river bank.

My first time in a swimming pool was memorable. After gathering courage, I stepped slowly into the cool water.....but I couldn't feel the floor. I had to stylishly grab the wall.
I was a complete jjc..... I still am.

When eventually my toes touched the floor, the water covered my nose so I had to raise my head(I'm petite)
It was annoying because any disturbance on the water surface made it difficult to breath so I had to stay close to the walls except times I made use of the floater available.
People tried to teach me but being my 1st time plus fear of drowning, I couldn't grab much.
My friend swallowed enough water to last her three days.

*how was your first experience like?

My first swimming experience wasn't really that bad. I was just playing in the shallow part, held on to the wall of the pool and flapping my legs until i was able to float without holding anythin.

Two memorable things about the day are bruise from hitting my toes on the floor of the pool and having swollen and red eyes like a 'ganja' man from water getting in contact with my eyes.
