Swimming

I had not been swimming in a long time and tonight I got back in the water......I swam without the flutter board. At first I was just letting go of the flutter board near the end of the length where I could touch the bottom, Then I decided to stick close to the rope and swim without the flutter board.
I did 4 laps and I hadn't drowned, I figured 4 laps was enough for one day, I had kept the lifeguards on their toes, I'm sure it looked like I was drowning the whole time. I was so thrilled with myself.
