i need to do this. ive been contemplating this a lot this past year. i spend a lot of time on boats and on the water. i’ve almost drowned twice in my life, last time was over 5 years ago. i went inner tubing on a river this past summer and was scared to death about drowning. it probably wasn’t to smart to be drinking either. i’ll get bri to teach me, she’s a certified lifegaurd and she’s my bff.

This is part of my larger goal to complete a triathlon! My local YMCA has adult classes, and I’ve looked into private lessons as well, but I haven’t had the money. Maybe after the holidays I’ll reassess my finances and make it happen!
