Day 22: Swimming

Day 22

For years I stayed in the shallow end during pool parties because I did not know how to swim. This limited my socializing and made pool parties rather boring. I recalled those years when I learned the tour included swimming pool breaks every day. The swims were an unexpected bonus because they were not on the itinerary.  Every swim exhilarated me: I can do something now that I had been unable to do for years.  Many of the pools had spectacular views too. It is amazing to come up for a breath and see a gorge.

If I had not learned how to swim last winter, I would have missed out on an amazing experience every day of this trip.  If something interests you, learn how to do it.

What skill are you interested in that you have not learned? What do you hope to do with that skill after you learn it?
