Congratulations and well done!! Such courage, swimming with fear and overcoming it. Inspiring! I hope the carpel tunnel pain resolves, take good care of yourself hon. xo
Congratulations for finishing up the course and swimming happily. It takes a lot of courage and self confidence to go after removing your fear of water. You’re right to be proud of yourself. I am proud of you too.
Celebrating you for choosing to LEARN! I feel like learning to learn is considered a waste of time by society. What’s the point if there’s no return on investment?!
I took up tennis last year and have found a similar teacher / coach. Having a kind, supportive, patient and encouraging human guiding you through the experience is a game changer!
Not sure if you’ve heard of the book Beginners by Tom Vanderbilt but that inspired me to pursue adult learning! And reinforced by commitment of being a lifelong student 🥰
Thanks so much for celebrating with me, and for sharing your appreciation for learning as an adult. Yes, I think society generally considers our "need" for learning to stop once we leave school. For me, the process of picking up a new skill itself is enjoyable, and much more so if the teacher is nurturing and supportive as well. Great for you that you took up tennis and found a great coach!
I haven't heard of the book but will look it up now. I first started my journey of being an adult student when I took up ballet at age 36. Since then I adopted the motto: "Never too late!"

Thank you, Victoria! Swimming gives me some relief from the carpel tunnel syndrome, so I'll keep practicing :-)
