Oh God, my THIGHS!

          I have attended six swimming lessons up to now, and I found swimming to be a challenging and tough task. I like the challenging part of it, but the tough part not so much. Besides coordination from the all four limbs, I found out stamina is essential for swimming too through the hard way. What's the hard way you ask? I can barely move now because my thighs are so so so sore! Analgesic cream should soothe the muscle ache and sore, but they are so sore, the cream applied on them doesn't seem to have any soothing effect at all. However, swimming is not that tiring actually, the real culprit is the exercises the coach made us do before we go swimming in the pool. All the squatting, jumping and kicking, they sap the energy out of my thighs, leaving them sore and painful.

          Nevertheless, I learned breaststroke, although I can't swim that fast. Anyway, I'm aiming for freestyle next, and I will continue practicing my breaststroke.

¡Chau!
