I can't wait for part 2, either.<br><br>The telling does make me just a little queasy. I can swim now, but my first lessons were at the Y. I was put in a group of intermediate swimmers instead of beginners. When the instructor said "jump in", I was too shy to mention I couldn't swim, and jumped. They had to pull me off the bottom and re-evaluate my skills! What a wonderful story! I can't wait for part 2, either.

The diving board freaked me out and to this day, I can swim, but I can't dive...I'm sure there's a metaphor for my life somewhere in there.
