SWIM30 challenge

DAY ONE: 500m

Tahlia and I will be working on our 30 swimming sessions in 10 weeks challenge. Last week, we took Tahlia to Hospital, and she was diagnosed with Scoliosis (under 20 degrees)  and she also has Pectus Excavatum – the funnel chest condition. We were surprised by these medical conditions but we knew these are messages that telling us to make a lifestyle change.

We felt the urgency of counter these conditions by working out right away to strengthen Tahlia’s back and chest muscle. We hope that by swimming consistently for 10 weeks, we will be able to improve her funnel chest condition and also help her to have a better spinal alignment.

We went to Daan sports center at 10 am today, and we accomplished our first 500M in 30 minutes.  We are going to correct our body condition by a consistent exercise routine. We are going to beat scoliosis and Pectus E. without having to use any brace or to undergo the surgical procedure. Our goal is to swim 15000M by end of April!

Good job, Tahlia.
