I Can Swim :)

Big night for me in the pool last night! Everything came together, finally.

To preface: I've spent a fair amount of time in the canoe, at my family's Ontario cottage. I know exactly the feeling of grabbing the water with the paddles. I've tried applying that thought to my swimming before, with limited success. For some reason, last night it worked. I felt myself grabbing and pulling the water. I was gliding in between strokes. I could feel a huge difference. What solidified it for me most though, was Jill waiting for me at the end of the lane, telling me I had a beautiful stroke!

Hopefully I can maintain the change. I'm very excited by the prospect of improvement in my swimming.
