I'm planning on getting back into swimming...this week.
I'm scared to death.
It's been a decade and a half since I did a real swimming workout.
I'm starting to get cold feet....I didn't even have cold feet before my wedding.
I know that everyone I meet etc. will be very accepting etc, but I'm still kinda freaking.
Help!

OK – first the Tough Love; Stop planning and start doing! Don’t plan to get in the water, get in the water!
Second, scared to death of what????? This isn’t bull riding or skydiving or javelin catching; IT”S SWIMMING!
Third the good news – if it’s been 15 years since your last real workout, you are light years ahead of a lot of folks in Masters who didn’t even learn to swim until they were adults. You’ll do fine. Relax, have fun, meet great friends and then look back and think “why did I wait soooo long?”
Fourth – I think we spoke at the “swim with the stars” – If watching those guys swim, didn’t motivate you, I don’t know what will. And while you’re shopping for a club also talk to Lisa Watson (lwatson@gc.peachnet.edu ) she can help get you hooked up with local teams.
Good Luck!
