About
I have been swimming for over 10 years; can't recall a time where I've spent more than a day away from a body of water. Although I haven't spent the majority of my life around the water I can still vividly remember what it was like to be so afraid to even put my face in. I remember what it was like when I gained a little bit of confidence but lacked the coordination to properly complete a stroke and I remember what it was like to finally complete at level where I could beat out the competition. I say all of that to say to you if I can do it you can do it or your kids or you and your friends can do it!!!!
