One Step Forward Three Steps Back

What do I mean by that heading above.  Well I have applied for funding to keep Swimming After Surgery (SAS) afloat.  The only problem is I won't know until the end of May if I have been successful with the funding.

In the meantime the funding that has been secured for Swimming After Surgery (SAS) runs out at the end of March 2011. 

This means unless I can obtain funding from other sources in the meantime Swimming After Surgery (SAS) will be dead in the water, before it has achieved its full potential.

I know times are hard but when women have gone through an ordeal such as breast surgery and come out the other end of hospital treatment they need to move forward with their lives.  This was why this stepping stone was set up.

Now I feel like I was getting somewhere but going nowhere fast, so hence one step forward three steps back.

I want to wave a magic wand and make everyone's problems disappear but this jsut isn't going to happen overnight.

It all takes time and slow progress.

Just like my Level 1 training.  Slowly but surely I am making progress.

I just have to keep making little steps to obtain the goal which is obtain my Level 1 qualification.  After that I hope to undertake a lifeguarding course in April.

I am making slow progress with my studying but will get there in the end.

My ASA Teachers Toolkit arrived today this will certainly help with the homework.

Yesterday at the pool/classroom was a good day.  I wasn't the only one struggling and finding some of the questions ambigious so felt much better than I had during the last couple of weeks.

I love swimming and the sport seems to love me.  I have no pain when in the water from my joints and I can really relax. 

This is the feeling I want to give to the participants of Swimming After Surgery (SAS) and I hope I can continue to do so.

Best wishes
