The Swim

If it seems dark at the end of the tunnel
try turning on a light

James Kelly

How often have you looked down into the depths of some deep dark body of water and imagined some monster coming up out of the depths to snap you up, or swam through a patch of sea weed or grass and imagined hands grabbing at your legs and dragging you down.
Everyone has their own swim demon. That's good. What ever your fear may be you will, at some point in time have to confront it. Better it be on your own time than three hundred meters into an Ironman swim.
Don't think that you will get over your demon in the middle of two thousand thrashing bodies, many with the same fear as you.
I guess the old saying applies, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
Get out their and swim.
