Swim

(photo taken at the BYUI pool)

I was pretty much raised in a pool. Most of my summers were spent marinating in chlorine.

My sunburnt face and green hair photos prove that.

Ever since I was little I have been fascinated with the feeling from swimming between the bottom of the pool and the surface. My body cutting through the water without touching anything. Just coasting.

When I was a senior in high school I participated on the diving team.

I loved it. The board would throw me in the air and the water would catch me. I started seeing how deep I could swim and how long I could stay down there. I would plunge 16 feet, roll onto my back and look up at the surface. I was in my own little world. No talking just seeing and feeling. 

I'm not sure where I wanted this post to go. 

To some these words might seem strange, but I know there are people out there who have also felt the little magic and therapy water can provide.

I just wanted to share some thoughts on water and the wonder of it.
