Hi All
I did the classroom yesterday today was the swimming pool. I was very nervous but my teacher was very patient with me. I had problems trying to breathe underwater and kept surfacing every couple minutes to breathe. I know it is because of my nerves and anxiety. It felt I was trying hard just to get a regular breath from the regulator. My teacher then gave me a different one. I forget the name now but it is the kind that has a knob where you can control the amount of air you want. This worked a lot better for me. I was then able to relax more and stay under longer. I have to take the pool part over again as I did not learn any skills. My main thing today was learning to relax underwater. Which I did.
