I read your blog and enjoyed it all especially the part about your daughter. Having a daughter myself, I can relate. My daughter (now 30) has swam since she is 6mo old, competed in swim teams, snorkeled in mexico when in her teens, but to my great disappointment hates looking underwater. She loves the water, but hates being under. She feels claustrophobic . I know, a common complaint when people try scuba..

Her passion is running, mine is diving. So now we will do our first 3k this summer together. (my passion will always be scuba), especially in NJ.

.Good luck, I hope your daughter LOVES IT. There is nothing better to share with someone. (PS, my hubby doesnt even swim in spite of me being a swim instructor).
