What a wonderful story. Of course being the swimmer that I am, I was attracted to the swimming part and admire your daughter for her grit and resolve to just do it even when she did not feel swimming was her calling.
I also love how our children can inspire us so. My daughters amaze me too. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I learn lots of lessons from my girls everyday. There is a reason they are in my life.

Sometimes all it takes is getting into the pool. It’s sad how often we avoid the difficult tasks in life that will move us ahead because of fear of the unknown, or starting and not being the best or perfect. There is much to learn from this lesson and the young wisdom of your daughter. There aren’t very many adults who would be willing to start at the bottom, but for most of us – that’s exactly where we need to start.

And didn’t it feel like a huge accomplishment afterward, because you had done something new? Way to go Ada!

Hmm.. last time I felt out of my comfort zone was when I was to appear on a radio show. I was so nervous leaving my office to go to the studio, but when I got in the car and drove to the studio my nerves relaxed .. I concentrated on having fun and the gratitude I felt for being asked to be on the show made my heart + face smile!!
