I just completed the 2.1k Across the Lake Swim in Kelowna — something I trained for over months. But what I *didn’t* expect was discovering a huge fear of open water swimming… just one month ago.

At my first swim clinic, it hit me: the vastness, the cold, not seeing the bottom — it triggered a deep, visceral fear I hadn’t known was there. Anxiety crept in fast. I questioned everything — my ability, my preparation, even my decision to sign up.

But I stayed with it.

I got in the water again. And again. I practiced not just swimming — but grounding. Breathing. Regulating. Choosing presence over panic.

And today, I swam the whole 2.1k.
Not because the fear was gone.
But because I didn’t let it lead.

Anxiety doesn’t always make sense. It doesn’t care how hard you’ve trained. But it doesn’t get the final say — *you do.*

Whatever you’re facing — a fear, a block, a stretch that feels just a little too far — I want you to know this:
You can feel the fear and keep going.
You can hold anxiety *and* move forward.
You are capable of more than you think.
