I'm taking on swimming and though I'm nowhere near a 1500 meter swim ability (yet) I am facing the same fears and fighting. With faith and action, we are conquerors. You will do your thing, no doubt. Kudos to you for not giving up and for prevailing in the face of adversity. You are an inspiration. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS, in advance!- OsitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
