Challenges

So my biggest challenge through these past few weeks has been to find the time to actually go to the pool! It has such weird hours, like 5:30am-7:30am, 8:30am-10:30am, and then 7-9pm. And then after my whole eye debacle, I got kind of scared to actually go in the pool with my contacts in. So I really need to get over that, because it has definitely hindered my progress.

In terms of actual challenges swimming, I find breathing correctly a problem. I've had asthma since I was in 1st grade, and it's always been a challenge for me to do anything physically active. I always thought swimming was going to be this terrible curse upon me, but it's actually not that bad! I mean, granted, it's still challenging for me to time my breathing so that I feel like I'm not dying under water and can't breath, but I have definitely steadily improved since the beginning of this semester.

I've been really slacking off this week, and haven't even headed to the pool once since last Wednesday. I'm planning to go tonight, when the pool opens at 7:30pm.
