Braving a public swimming pool today

Wibble...

Going to the Metrodome today with a friends kids (well, teenagers actually).

This will be my first time in a swimming costume in public for a LONG time. I'm more than a little frightened... But, not so frightened I'm not going to go and act like a kid on all the water slides! LOL

I'll be ok once I'm in, it's just the walking about in just a cozzie that's that problem. Last year I swam loads in my friends pool but that's totally different to going public...

Wish me luck!
 
Aww good luck Clep ! You will be fine , have a great time !! xx
 
All I can say is WOW!!

Had an amazing time, went on all the slides several times (not sure a 32 year old woman elbowing kids out of the way whilst sprinting up the stairs is a good look, but never mind!) and even did some lengths in the grown up section too.

SwimmingCostumeHell wasn't as bad as expected either! I actually didn't look as horendous as I thought I would and although I still look far from attractive, I can actually see that I've made a lot of progress in just under 5 weeks!

Definately going to the Metrodome again next week and think I shall take up evening swimming closer to home a few nights a week too!!!
 
great that u had such a brill time! .. i'm dying to go swimming too but haven't got up the courage just yet.
 
That was brave when you were scared of it Cleo - well done you, and I'm so glad you had such a good time. :)

I swim with my children all the time and have never felt self-conscious, although I realise I [STRIKE]have[/STRIKE] had a lot of wobbly flesh on display.

I got a fab swimsuit from bravissimo which has a proper underwired bra hidden in it, and firm tummy support (used to take some wiggling to get into), so I was always well-supported even when obese, LOL! :D
 
Aw im so glad it went well for u!!! Its great when ya can do something that your anxious of. And how cool that you'v found an exercise that u might enjoy!! Delighted for you. X
 
Glad you had such a good time. Haven't been swimming myself yet, must get back into it again cos I really did enjoy last year. Hope you keep it up, especially as you really enjoy it!

My boobs are too SMALL for Bravissimo!! If they were as fat as the rest of me I'd be much happier, but sadly Bravissimo don't do C cups :cry:
 
Well done to you. Such a motivation.

congrats
