Help!!! Being new to the sport and reading the board has given just a small amount of concern about what I have gotten into. It may be that at 48 I have reached a point that it is not wise to put one in harms way knowingly. I enjoyed most of my OW class, (became frustrated when I had trouble with a skill I couldn't perform as well as I thought I should be able to). I am smart enough to know this is dangerous and realize you can get in trouble in the blink of an eye. When I start reading I recognize I know enough to be dangerous to myself. How did the rest of you feel when you were frshly wet behind the ears?
