Alan Cie - Befriending Water

Just like you, I’m scared of water. As a matter of fact I was scared of it all my life until I learned how to swim at the age of 32 and gained enough confidence to face my fear. I’ve been swimming for six years now and working on my new personal records and setting ambitious goals. Some of them include becoming a lifeguard and a qualified swimming instructor so I can share what I learned with others. I would like to invite you to follow my progress and hopefully inspire you to take action and face your own fears too.
