Came back to swimming after several years and it went BADLY
I used to have swimming lessons on the highest level at my local swimming pool, and when I changed schools it started to be a big detour and I slowly stopped going at all, I dropped swimming at 17.
Now I'm at my big girl job, living in a new place, and the local swimming place is 2 min away from home, so I decided I need to start going again bcs my work is extremely sedentary and I miss it, honestly.
The first 100meters went fine, but then I started feeling extremely out of breath and I had to stop on each 25 m that I did- my resistance was on the floor. I still pushed through, and I ended up doing 600m.
After taking a shower and sitting on the bench, I started to hyperventilate and seeing everything black. A few people noticed and they came to help me lie down and gave me sugar and told me I should've eaten more before (I ate an yoghurt).
Now I still feel like crap (mentally because I could've prevented this, and physically because my whole body is still sore) but next week I will take it slower, and eat something better. Any tips are welcome 😄
