Just went for my first swimming class.Pathetically bought a boxer short for 80 bucks and walked in the water as stretching exercise.Breathing exercise was a pain.Immerse you head in water , keep your eyes open(wish i had water goggles), hold your breath and keep your mouth shut .. these were the instructions.

How difficult could it be right …. well i got worse to the point where my instructor told me …

Ivathu neevu yennu sariyage madilla ( Today you did nothing right) and still it was first day.

The rush of blood got inspired me and kiran to hold our breath for 30 seconds under water.After 15 seconds , enough was enough , Kiran was inspired though . he came out after 50 seconds and shouted eureka !!! unfortunately , everybody had left the pool by then.I was even showered and ready to go home. hmm, Now i doubt if it was even 15 seconds inside water.

And , they tell me you can learn swimming in day . As per my instructor i could not even walk properly in the pool.
