Trust Your Coach!

I have always wanted to learn swimming but had the fear of deep waters so never mustered up the courage.

Two years ago that changed. As a regular to the health club, I used to chat with Mustafa Bhai the swimming coach on my  way out of the gym.

'Sumair Bhai just give yourself a month, and come everyday. You will swim like a fish' said Mustafa Bhai on many occasions. This conversation happened for a year.

So one day I took his advice. Gave up gym for a month. Went everyday for lessons. At this age it wasn't easy like it is for my 6 year old daughter , but I was determined . Also because I wanted to swim with her.

Mustafa Bhai made me do annoying drills. The Kick. The Breathing. The Arms...above all the fear of deep water... Slowly and gradually it all came together.

I gave up also many times as it was hard. Everyone around me was swimming. And I was just doing these drills. But I never backed out. Every day was a new day, and I was going to do it.

And I did. Thanks to Mustafa Bhai. I can swim like a fish. Swimming adds to to my gym routine. The feeling of freshness... Only people who swim can understand...

Above all I can go with my 6 year old and we have loads of fun. 

I am glad I chose a coach and trusted him. And so should you. What do you have to lose...?!?!
