I know my swimming skills are sub par for sure so I know where you are coming from!

I would have been a nervous wreck too beforehand. I always get nervous when I am about to try something new- I think that it is normal. I really need to start getting better at swimming if I want to do a triathlon this summer. I don’t think I swim like a surfer, but I don’t think my “skills” are that great either. I think I flop around everywhere. Can’t wait to hear about your next adventure. Did you go on Tuesday???

I was going to ask if this was the start of a new season or if you are just meant to drop in. It sounds like that latter is the case, so I bet if you try Tuesday you will get more of what you want!

I still can’t imagine that anyone would actually find spin class to be FUN, but I have friends who claim they enjoy it!

It was horrible. I wanted to leave so bad, but I also didn’t because I was terrified of being embarrassed even worse on top of the fact that about half way through I could no longer do the up downs and was just spinning. Plus my instructor didn’t even tell me how to increase the resistance. Thank god, plus I wasn’t looking for it very hard lol- I was just dying!!! Probably one of the worst work out experiences ever. and now I can barely move, and my girl area is in the worst pain ever! ahhh… I have made up my mind to try it again though, because after googling “first spin class” and “pain” it seems a lot of people have the same experience. (which makes me feel a little better. ha!) just glad to know I’m not the only one! :)

That would be quite the experience to jump in with competitive swimmers!

I was going to suggest, as Andrea did, to double check about what Masters swim is too but that’s fabulous that they dedicate that hour to help people out with swimming. Swimming is really great and good for you for sticking with it. I swear, if I didn’t learn to swim when I was a kid, I don’t think that I’d have the patience or coordination to learn now!
