My Water Experiences
My first experience in the water
when my dad threw me in
at the tender age of five I was
from then water fear hit my chin
I never learned to swim for years
till in my late twenties I took a dip
taking lessons at local swim pool
struggled at first thinking it a blip
But it was never too successful
had issues with concentration and coordination
never able to combine hands and feet together
it just wasn't to be my life station
So I can just about swim a length
but that's all truly is my lot
an occasional dip on hols maybe
nothing more Olympics isn't my pot!
