Just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming...
went to swim this afternoon at Clementi Swimming Complex....a nostalgic experience i must say, considering that i haven't been swimming for the past 3-4 years...Well first I saw Uncle Jeffery, my coach last time... his looks didn't change much. and then i saw the other kids having their lessons..all the laps, pyjamies float, treading water etc.... i remembered i used to do all these. but in the past i was one lazy bugger... not really a good student. :P
right now, i can't swim laps continously....i started with rest after each 50m lap. after a while then i can swim 2-4 laps continously...but all slow and moderate pace. how i have deproved!! in the past it was REQUIRED to swim 6-7 laps continously....and that's normal training.. sigh..all these years of sitting around...
Swimming and piano were part of my hobbies in primary school. i didn't REALLY enjoy them but i do them. well, at sec 1 i "lost interest" and dropped both swimming n piano lessons...to my...regrets? i don't know if i regret them that much. you see, if i hadn't drop them both, i would not have the freed up Sundays which i could start my church-going (which led up to my salvation though the Lord Jesus Christ). well, God knows best. so it's part of the salvation path of Carmen. =)
"All things work together for good..." -Romans (chapter and verse something.. can't remember right now)
Anyway now that i have a bit of free time in my hands, i might as well pick them up again. I do love the swimming sensation. in the water there is this freedom and tranquility that i do not feel in running or many other sport. quite a meditative experience to swim actually. especially if there's less people around.
guess i'll continue this hobby. =)
or i'll try to...
ah well.
