The Art of Swimming

Being both a dancer and swimmer for many years, I can say there is a great similarity between the two.

I practice a funk style dance called locking. Although there are many variations, there are only about 10-15 moves in the dance. Even though I have been practicing for over ten years, I have not achieved mastery in the dance.

You may think I’m a slow learner, but ask yourself this.

Swimming has five moves. Freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke and the dolphin kick. How long have you been swimming and have you mastered all five yet?

I surely have not.
