Diving

Last night I went to my first swimming class since I hurt my ankle. My ankle was still a teeny tiny bit sore but I was just bored of waiting. So I went to the edge of the pool and my teacher asked me to dive in. I did the best dive I have ever done. No slap of water against flat body part, no stinging red flesh.

But my ankle! Theres something about going up on your tiptoes and pushing off that doesn't do twisted ankles one bit of good. Pain! Pain! Don't like it.

On the plus side when I found my self in the middle of the deep end with the pain I was calm and fit enough to just casually stroke to the side of the pool and not drown.

The rest of the lesson was grand. But oh swimming without kicking your legs for half an hour really takes it out of you. But think how wonderful my shoulders will be!
