Thanks Pszemol for the encouragement. I'm sure it will be awhile for me
before I dive

I took swim lessons and still am not the best swimmer. I guess I should
have done lessons in my "younger" years and not as I got older. I totaly
agree that fear plays a huge part in swimming. Once I realized I could
just stand up in the 4ft. of water and had no reason to fear I took off
across it. I've always wanted to dive in the reefs but I know I would
never make it.

Do not say this to yourself - since you are not afraid swimming at 4ft
deep
it is now only a matter of practice and building your self confidence to
make the next step: deeper water and than diving... Good luck - you can do
it!
