First of all, relax
the water can smell fear,
smile at your reflection.
if you breathe out,
your lungs will breath in for you; i promise
your body wants to live.
kick when you inhale,
kick when you exhale
and keep kicking inbetween.
where your head tilts
there your body will follow,
for balance, keep a level head.
when the deep confronts you
do not be afraid, the technique is the same:
relax, breathe, kick.
