Over the next four years, my fitness level slowly increased. A friend had told me that when I could swim a mile, he would teach me to scuba dive. That sounded like a lot of fun, so I started training. Again, the first time I got in the pool, I couldn't even make it across once! I had to stop half-way across to catch my breath! But with scuba diving on my brain, I kept at it. Day after day, little by little, I got to the point where I could do all 66 laps which constituted the mile. Sadly, he never did come through and take me scuba diving, but I was swimming in an outdoor pool with beautiful scenery on the horizon, so I enjoyed the swims, anyway, and they really helped me improve my fitness level!
With best wishes for a long and healthy life,
