Yay! I was finally able to swim underwater for 25 meters at the pool today! I've been trying to accomplish this for several weeks now; I need to be able to do it to pass my scuba class. For the longest time, I could only get halfway across the pool, but finally, by concentrating on relaxing my body, I made it across the whole 25 meters. Immediately afterwards, I did it an additional 3 times. It truly is a mental problem, not a physical one; once you do it once, it becomes a whole lot easier to do it again.

Now I just need to demonstrate it for my scuba instructor...
