The one skill I'd really love to learn in the future is swimming. I've always been drawn to the water, especially beaches, but I've never been comfortable swimming. I want to learn so I can enjoy the ocean more fully, without the fear of being out of my depth. I think swimming is a fundamental skill everyone should have. I plan to enroll in a short course that will teach me the basics. Learning to swim would benefit me during my leisure time, allowing me to explore other water activities and enjoy the water more confidently.
