2 swimming and tai chi

my goal now is to stay for the entire class, it hurt so much previously that I would leave early. Then I reallized I was getting better with less pain but somehow my body still thought that it was going to hurt

So, now I'm weaning myself off the crutch of leaving and staying for more of the class.

Swimming is going better, I'm trying to stay for 20 minutes with the correct form, and as another swimmer cheered me on by saying, hey, you have a lifetime to improve, there is no race...uh....right, why didn't I think of that?
