Day 3 - Discovery

On the third day, late in the evening, I gathered up my courage for a swim in the pond. The pond is great - deep and moves a bit - but I'm scared of things I can't see under the water and of reeds, ropes, trees etc - anything that can tangle me. But in the interests of facing my fears, and with the confidence that I enjoy swimming - I swam and I've been going back as often as I can.
