Hitting the Water

Remember the scene in Finding Nemo when Nemo’s dad is frustrated, angry and tired and Dori happily advises: Just keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming, Just keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming…?

That scene came to mind when reading Israeli Mom’s most recent blog entry. “Mom” is learning to swim and she blogs her fear and struggle.

My good friend Steve told me that the most important thing in swimming is not to panic. Well, I’m sorry, but when I can’t breathe, I tend to panic, I guess. I’m not even sure if it’s panic per se. I’m too busy thinking about oxygen to define my exact state of mind at that exact moment.

Girl (woman), don’t give up. It’s a very important skill to acquire and you’re brave for taking it on at a “later stage” in life…Just do like Dori sez and keep on keepin’ on.
