Try something old with a new perspective

In Middle School I dreaded the PE unit of Swimming. I was always so much slower than everyone else. I had too much one on one time with the teacher in the shallow end to ever enjoy it. You'd think the humiliation and emotional scars would have kept me miles from a swimming pool, but a few years ago, I decided to take the plunge. To prepare for a triathlon, I signed up for a swimming class. To my complete shock and amazement, I loved it! I let myself enjoy it and I improved (it's amazing what happens post-teenage insecurities). If a bad taste in your mouth from Middle School PE is keeping you away from trying a sport, think again, and dive in with a new perspective.
