You feel powerful when you conquer inner demons(fears)
Timestamp: 17th Aug 2019
I am maybe proud of born in the Chennai city but when the child born here it will lack many essential skills. In the city there is a lot of entertainment places like Play station, mall, movie theatre, amusement parks, zoo etc.., there is no room for the child to learn a natural skill like Swimming. Even though the city has much swimming pools I always went there to play not to learn.
In Vacation time I went to relative houses in Arani(developed town) I don’t have much freedom to visit well/lake/river on the outer ring of the town. I only watch cartoons or play cricket with those town kids.
Later in life, I listed some of the essential skills I need to conquer one is Swimming.
I searched the internet, consulted a few friends and concluded marina swimming pool
I joined in marina swimming pool cost is minimal when compared to other places and also the water was well treated and maintained properly.
Thank you to Master Ranjith( giving coaching and training for many decades)
Sidenote:
Swimming is a natural way of maintaining and building our body. My master is almost 40 years old now but he looks young, It is all because of prolonging swimming.
The fun part is my folks are 7-10-year-old kids. initially, I felt a little bit awkward on standing beside kids for training, later I learnt many things from them.
My teaching session is 14 days
Monday holiday
Weekly 6 days I wake up at 5:15 AM and reach there at 6:15 AM it goes for 1- 11/2 hrs.
Teaching started with step by step process.
Day 1– walk in the swimming pool
Day 2– Bend, leaning front, place my hand fwd, face dipped in the water and went to walk
Day 3-7 – Leg pedalling with hands facing fwd, holding the breath and tried to cross each black line on the bottom of the floor
Day 8-11 – Freestyle swimming holding breathe
Day 12-14– Freestyle Swimming with breathing control.
Initially, it is hard to manage everything, I concentrated on legs needs to pedal systematically and holding my breath monitoring my stamina. then I started arm movement I lost to monitor my legs, little by little I manage my arms and legs movement and final part is breathing control.
I learnt basic swimming now but practice leads to perfection.
Amazed, When I saw kids who joined swimming past 2 days before learnt basic more quickly, I was a bit shocked. after observing them, I realised kids following the natural process without their knowledge they followed what their body tells, they managed their arms, legs and breathing.
Being grown up I stopped to listen to my body that is a problem. I try to understand what my body told to do and started to love swimming and finally I conquered my inner demon fear of drowning.
Note:
Force is working!!!.
During training days I believed I am going to experience rain in the swimming pool. Yesterday was the 14th-day final day of my training but my master told me to come tomorrow.
I came Today BOOM!!! it is raining.
My special and Final class with experiencing rain while swimming in the swimming pool.
