Thinking After Swimming
It was first time I went to swim again since that incredible “story” happened. To my surprise, I didn’t feel uneasy at all when seeing swimming pool again. It seemed I’d already completely recovered. Hurray!
I enjoyed hot spring first, which could help me make a good preparation. Comparing with it, the warm swimming pool was so cold that I spent a period of time to adapt it. I was still with the hope of learning swimming, but I was so timid that I only had courage to move around the side at lower part. Sigh~~~~~ Seeing other swimmers swimming like a fish, I was full of envy. When can I do that? I wish I were a 7-year-old girl now so that I surely can learn swimming during a short time.
Now, I begin to regret not accepting my mom’s advice. When I was a child, she always told me “Learn as much as you can when you are young.” I didn’t care at that time, but now I gradually know how important it was. Predecessors usually have abundant knowledge and enough life experience. They hope their successors could avoid mistakes they had made. However, youth always repeat such errors until they themselves realize it is wrong. Is it the law of growing process?

"It is never too late to learn."
I realize that from now on I am willing to learn new things no mater how old I am.
So, just to learn!:0
In Vancouver there are many centers,including gym and swimming pool. They also provide all kinds of cheap lessons. The one you went swimming has many swimming lessons too.
Just try. Good luck.
Hi Searay,
You have a very good friend in Eddie. I was going to say the same thing.
Your mother is right - we should try to learn all we can when we are young - but in today's world we've seen that the most successful people are those who continue to learn throughout their lives.
Wherever you swim in Vancouver, ask about swimming lessons. You can sign up for group lessons - and a lot of sessions will be starting in January - or ask about private lessons. It won't cost too much. With "Sue" you decided to pay for lessons. That was a good decision. Unfortunately, the person who suggested it and took your money was dishonest. But that doesn't mean your decision to learn to swim was wrong. On the contrary! Take some lessons and prove to yourself that you can do it.
Let us know how it goes.
Best regards,
Wendy
With the pools closed due to strike, isn't its tough to swim laps in Vancouver now?
