I Survived!

Freestyle. Modified Crawl. Breaststroke. Modified Breaststroke. Sidestroke. Backstroke. Elementary Backstroke. Plunge Dive. Shallow Dive. Stride Jump. Deep Dive. Disrobing. Rescue Swimming. Lifevest Inflation. Water Huddle. 30-minute treading and more. Can you say intense?

I'm now two (or three) shades darker than my original skin color and my body hurts all over, but I couldn't care less because I survived three days of Survival Swimming! I got a 94 too...not bad, considering that I barely knew how to swim or tread or even float (!) when I started training. The secret? I promised myself that I would do whatever it takes to pass, and I did!

It goes to show that you really can do anything once you put your heart and mind into it. It's a cliche, I know, but positivity and willpower goes a long way in achieving one's goals. Of course, it never hurts to pray. We all need grace, after all. :)



Countdown: 4 days of ground training left!
