I have always loved the water and tried different kinds of water sports, but I only started learning how to swim properly a few years ago. At the beginning it was not easy. During every training session I felt like I was drinking half of the pool.
But little by little I got used to it and eventually fell in love with swimming. Then life happened. I moved to another country, stopped going to swimming classes regularly, and eventually quit completely.
Some time later, quite spontaneously, I signed up for an Oceanman race. I swam 5 km and afterwards thought, well, that is it, I am done with swimming.
But about six months ago I moved to Portugal. I fell in love with the ocean and wanted to start swimming again. That is how I found Swim4Fun, and it turned out to be not only about training but also a wonderful community of amazing people.
I am really happy to have swimming back in my life again.
