He estado sin hacer ejercicio durante mucho tiempo. Anteriormente, practicaba deportes extremos, pero después de una lesión, dejé de hacerlo. Ahora he comenzado algo nuevo, que es entrenar Muay Thai. Fui por primera vez con un amigo que ya entrenaba, y la primera semana fue intensa, ya que no había hecho ejercicio en mucho tiempo. Ahora voy todos los días y me está gustando mucho, ya que siempre he querido practicar un arte marcial y no lo había podido hacer hasta ahora.

I've researched the currents, water quality, and weather conditions in Ireland (found some informative websites), and I'm relieved to find a great beach nearby. I'm feeling a bit #scared, but

Journey

Although I know how to #swim, I've never ventured into open waters before. I'm #scared and uncertain about where to start, especially since I'm in #Dublin, where the water isn't the warmest. I used to swim at the gym pool for 30 mins ~ 600 mt but that's all, so this is totally different. I've started reading and checking different things I need, but there's so much information that it feels #overwhelming. Any tips from experienced #swimmers would be greatly appreciated! Lots of reads out ther
