Everyone: “What do you mean you can’t swim?” Me: “I just can’t, it’s a bone density thing…” Yes, I know. For a long time, I had convinced myself that the fact I never learned how to swim was down to my bone density. Growing up, I was always the girl who got picked first for school games. I was fast, stealthy and tenacious.
Going into my first lesson, I felt confident. Alex, my instructor, reminded me that I was lucky because I didn't have to overcome that fear of water, I simply needed to try – hard. The water was crisply cold. I hate cold water, but I submerged my whole body and held my breath for as long as I could. We started off easy and Alex did not let me slack. “Slow down, make sure you complete the full stroke before you start the next one,” he urged me as I rushed through my front stroke.
