		<description>So true--you just have to jump right in!  

I loved your how to swim part 1 and 2, as well as this post.  I&#039;ve been swimming for about a year now (after taking lessons a few times when I was a kid, I still was terrified of the water and my first dip last March included a board and a lot of nightmares the night before!) and I definitely want to refine my technique a bit, but classes are hard to find here in Trinidad.  I&#039;d love to see a post on correct kicking technique for freestyle--at the moment I&#039;m either splashing too hard or just dragging!</description>

		<description>This post is exactly what I needed. I have been wanting to learn to swim better as a means of cross training for running but I have been so afraid to actually get in the water. I bought myself a new swimsuit and everything, hoping it would help to get me in the water, but I haven&#039;t been able to do it! (yet) 
Thanks for the motivation!</description>

		<description>I was in this position just a couple of weeks ago! I&#039;ve been wanting to do my first tri this year, but the swim was the only thing holding me back. I was nervous that I would look like a dummy in the pool at the YMCA and the lifeguard would laugh at me. One day, I just went and did it (I only swam 15 minutes) and got over my fear/anxiety of the pool. I agree, you gotta JUST DO IT! : )</description>

		<description>I sing a lot in my head too! I also kick with a kick board, do drill work, change the stroke I&#039;m swimming, use a buoy, etc.. to keep from getting bored. Most of the time intervals and sets do a great job at keeping me entertained/distracted. One of my upcoming tips will be on sets and interval training so stay tuned!</description>

		<description>Most of the time, I love the zen-like calm of swimming. Some days, though, I&#039;m just bored. What do you do to make it more interesting. And I&#039;m not just talking sets or intervals (although some insight on that, too, would be great) but also what you usually think about in the pool. Confession: I sing to myself a lot!

		<description>i love ashley&#039;s answer of her only knowing how not to drown in the pool - thats exactly how i feel.  I def. forsee myself branching out and trying to learn how to ACTUALLY swim sometime this year - all the talk with you and Caitlin has def. gotten my mind wheeling.  Thanks for the suggestion to just do it!</description>
