I had my first swim lesson at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre today. We learn to kick our feet. Oh, and breathe also. It's actually a lot harder than it looks. I've been told I should try to get my chin higher into the air before trying to breathe... I'm swallowing a lot of water. I think I should get ear plugs, nose plugs, and goggles. Basically prevent any ingress of water.
I also smell like chlorine. Everytime I sniff myself, I smell chlorine. I've already taken 2 showers. Maybe it's all the chlorine I've swallowed... the fumes are still getting into my nose or something. I definitely can't scrub anymore. The last shower and scrub left me feeling peeled.
