When I am in the water, I feel free. I can stretch my arms straight out in front of me, and I can peddle my legs. I can sit on the stairs or move around the edge of the shallow end of the pool or lay on my back and push around the deep end. My shoulders don’t feel like they have weights on them, pulling my arms down, my back can relax and not feel pinched and tight, and my ankles don’t swell from inactivity. I have complete support and security as the water buoys me up, and ripples over my muscles like a gentle massage. It’s a wonderful feeling! And when I am in the water, I want to move constantly, just because I can.
