My son Ishan is an ardent swimmer and he just loves the sport ! I remember it hardly took him a week to be thoroughly learning and enjoying the art.
But the story has be different with me. It has taken me much more time to overcome the fear nestled somewhere in my mind. And the ridiculous part is to be scared of drowning in a pool that is barely 4 feet 3 inches deep !
Now, there is something I finally discovered. And this has helped me greatly to lose the grip of the pool-side railing ( which had become my fastidious survivor as well as source of dependency.)
This is what I discerned.
Surrendering to water with absolute faith and trust that it would not let me sink.
This simple realization was the self -awareness that was great support for me as I leaped into the water, lowering my head and finally permitting my feet to leave the ground ! I felt the need to share this, because I realize it now that Surrendering with complete Trust is the key to not only overcome fear , but also discovering your innate potential !
