it seems to work

The tips Nikki gave do seem to work, but it be the fact that all the stars and planets are aligned again and for the third time I was able to swim sine I was 12 years old. It is bound to happen a couple of time in 35 years. She even gave a pointer on open water swimming on how to hold the head up to see where I'm going. I'm hope the lake is crystal clear like the pool. Do you know of any like these? I have experienced panic. Not only the first time getting into a pool after so many years, the lack of swimming ability and did I forget to mention you need to learn to breath. Breathing in the water is where panic can set in. The first time I suck in what felt like a 1,000 gallons of water, I thought that was it. I was going down and did not follow my wife's advice. Don't drown tonight. Then I realized I sucked up that much water I can touch the bottom in the deep end. It has happened a few times since and first is panic and then I over come and keep going.
