put me in swimming class. I went to my swimming class for multiple years and i hated it because i wasn't the best.

Suspending underwater, everything seemed crystal clear—no sounds, no worries, and no responsibilities. Swimming creates a feeling unlike anything else, even if it is only for seconds at a time.
