In The Swimming Pool

I have started learning swimming from Sunday, 15th April.

Day 1 - Sunday, the 15th April

It was fun to enter the swimming pool to make my long time dream come true... It is almost from 3 years of my age I am asking for swimming.... Both amma & appa were afraid, as I am prone to cold frequently & also had a  Myringotomy (a minor ear surgery) in my 2 1/2 years, to clear my ear infection. Doctor advised appa not to enter swimming pools till 5 years or 6 years.

I love to be in the pools earlier...
tried several times to swim on my own... but ended up sinking and drinking water...

Then an idea to use the float came into my mind.... I tried that too... but in vain...
Its high time I realised that I should learn swimming from a good coach. Now that my dream came true.

I could not believe that I AM LEARNING SWIMMING....

Coach came near me and asked my name & asked me take a dip in the pool. He then asked me to blow bubbles with my nose, under water with a closed  mouth. It was a bit hard for me initially but later with practice I did that and today's class was over with this.

Day 2 - Tuesday, the 17th April

As Monday was a holiday, today, is my second day.  

Today, Master asked me practice the bubble. I practiced it and he asked me to float, keeping my head under water, bubbling continuously.... He guided me to the other side of the pool. YUCK....... A big black dolphin picture is in the middle of the swimming pool... & seeing with my eyes wide open under water, it looks something very big and looks like a big whale.... I was really scared to have a second look at it and immediately came back to my usual pool corner. I know it is only the tiles ...but under water that too the black colour dolphin looks really really scary. 

Sir asked me not to get afraid and asked me walk through the dolphin for more than 10 times. At first I was scared to pass through the middle. Later I got used to it... and now a only a slight disgusting feeling is there. 

I started sneezing today. 

Day 3 - Wednesday, the 18th April

I started floating today, but only to a very short distance. I drank water while floating in the middle of the pool.... inhaled water through my mouth.... started heavy sneezing & running nose even before I was about to start home.

Back home.... I have severe cold & fever. Took rest the whole day.

Day ..... - Thursday, the 19th April

Today, I was very lazy to wake up early morning, might be due to cold & didn't go the swimming class.

I felt something very strange .... On seeing my face mom told me that I might have fever.... but by touching my body, one could not say I have fever... very chill.... also I don't feel feverish.... But I have cough today.... Despite my protests, mom kept the thermometer under my tongue.... yep.... I have fever more than 101 degrees F.

Mom gave me cold & fever medicine & told me to take rest, not to read any books today, as it would make my eyes tired. Slept in the afternoon.

I went to abacus class this evening, came back home as fresh as ever. still have low grade fever. But not tired.
Would go to swimming only by Saturday, as dad has some other work tomorrow.

Hope to learn swimming soon....
