My first swim (floating)

Living in an area with limited swimming opportunities, Ahmedabad, i have always been yearning to swim. Being an ardent fan of water sports, I had always wanted to learn swim in-order to actually participate in them. So the first day starts with the coach asking us to float on water. Rest was there for realisation. If you have not yet learned how to float you are unnecessarily denying yourself the opportunity to safely participate in many activities that take place in, on or near the water. Learning to float allows you to
rest comfortably in deep water when swimming out over your head or when swimming long distances. If you have learned to float, then diving or jumping off a spring board or dock can easily be followed by a few minutes floating while you catch your breath and decide what you want to do next. If you are in any type of water craft that inadvertently capsizes, you'll be very glad you learned to float because you possess a survival skill that will keep you alive and calm until help can arrive. Learning to float requires some concentration and a little practice, but once you have learned the skill of floating, it is yours for a lifetime.
Having know this for a while now, I set my step ahead and left myself sleeping on water, head facing downwards. Apart from few initial hiccups, I managed to get myself on water. Though there was a trouble keeping myself from getting rotated on one side, soon a little practice helped me align my head in-order to prevent the rotation. Today will be the second day. Will keep posting what happens next.
