I'm trying to conquer swimming. I'm getting there. I've gotta conquer it. I had a fear of drowning and tunnels and flying. I started flying and got my pilot's license, so I conquered that. Now, I'm onto swimming and tunnels.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For people who believe that they can't do it, I hope I'm an inspiration to others to get out there and try swimming. You might be pretty good at it.
I can't swim and I'm terrified of drowning, but I still love being by water - just not in it.
I've got to get my real skills up; like, I got to get my skills up, 'cause in case of a crazy catastrophe, I might have to learn how to swim.
Believe in yourself, not only in swimming, but in life itself. You always have to have fun. You have to have an open mind. If you're not enjoying it, don't do it. Life's too short.
Challenge yourself, jump off the deep end and learn to swim.
I try to separate my personal life from swimming.
I want to continue the sport of swimming. I'm not going to give up until I think it's reached where I want it to go.
I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.
I don't want to be the crazy woman who does it for years and years and years, and tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails, but I can swim from Cuba to Florida, and I will swim from Cuba to Florida.
I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.
