I finally could start swimming. I wasn’t hydrophobic, but yes watching innumerable horror flicks where the killer drowns the victim had peddled enough fear in my head about pools.
Inside the water, one feels an overwhelming surge… it is so empowering and satiating. My body felt the light ripples of water and I splashed small waves of water which spurted softly. When I sunk myself into the deep blue pool of water, I felt like I have become one of those muffled birds…which meander in the sky effortlessly spreading their wings in the fathomless sky without the fear of dropping.
I went in the pool with the apprehension that my phobia will insinuate numerous reasons why I should not swim… but I patted myself on emerging from the pool to a bright light, like Lara Croft unchained!
