“My confidence in myself soared.”
My sister texted me asking if I was interested. I replied, “NO!” Then thought about it a lot and eventually changed my mind. I was scared after I hit “send.” I did not have much support from my family at first; then my son and daughter would “coach” my swims at the local pool. I so enjoyed my swim training just to hear them cheer me on.
“One of the most memorable moments was the huge response I got from my Facebook friends after posting my picture after the race.”
