Photo of two incredibly happy ladies after going swimming at LC2 yesterday 🏊🏻♀️🧜♀️🌊💧!! It was my first time swimming in over 3 years, and the first time I’ve been tube free in 13 years, so a major milestone. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and made me very emotional. I’ve always been far more mobile and capable in the water. I was a Team GB swimmer who trained for the Paralympics. On land, I’ve always felt clumsy, awkward, weak, pained. In the water, I am strong, graceful, capable... I am free. I thought I’d lost that feeling forever... getting it back was, just, amazing. There’s no stopping me now; I’m going to be in the pool as often as possible! I have to say a big thank you to my very brave mummy @caroline.davies350 for taking me 💖 it meant everything! And I’m really impressed that she actually let me convince her to go on the big slide 🙈😂! This girl is once again a mermaid 🧜♀️! #iwentswimming #firsttimeinthreeyears #tubefree #firsttimeinthirteenyears #majormilestone #ilovedit #palliativecarewarrior #swimming🏊 #swimmingmakesmehappy #waterisfreedom #thisgirlcan #imamermaidnow #thankyoumummy❤️ #ilovemymummy❤️ (at LC Swansea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwr4COvlxOP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4tizzuumkp3c
