I admire you for your raw truth and courage in telling readers about your swimming experience. Going to the pool was a huge step and you embraced that challenge with patience and perseverance, while role modelling for your daughter by trying to give her a positive experience through exercise and fun.
That disrespectful women can suck it. She doesn’t know your story.
I wanted to ask if you would ever consider swimming in the ocean or lake (if you live nearby one)? Going into the cold water (especially oceans) is an exhilarating experience and has huge health benefits, even if you step in for just a minute. For me, it does wonders for my mental health and washes away my anxiety for at least a few hours or the rest of the day. It also relieved me when I was going through grieving and depression.
In any case, keep up with the good work going to the pool! The mental and physical benefits you receive are so worth the time and effort for you and your daughter. 💕
