Five things I learned from Swimming (that can be applied to real life)
- Keep your eyes open. Whether you're going to jump into the water or just doing laps, it's best if you see where you are headed.
- It's all about pacing. It's not a race. The goal is to keep your body in rhythm so you can keep yourself afloat.
- When you're in the middle of the pool and you realize that you're in really deep water (excuse the pun) and you start to panic, remember: Glide, kick, kick, pull. Keep moving, don't let the circumstances scare you. Remember what you have to do to get through.
- Remember a mouthful of water cannot drown you, but panic can. (This I learned from "Life of Pi" HAHAHA but it's applicable anyway).
- After every pull, raise your head from the surface and do not forget to BREATHE.
