I got my first pair of goggles to put my face in the sea and try out front crawl about a year ago (in May I think). I had only ever dipped in the sea and floated about before (which is glorious) but I remember the awe I felt as I watched my swim friends glide off that day. Those who know me know I caught the swim bug pretty badly. I've always been drawn to the sea but being submerged and underwater and using my body like this is a whole new world to me. I have not swum much in fresh water and am looking forward to a new swim spot and seeing what its like swimming with many people! eeeek
