Yes! Actual face IN the water. Not Face-ING the water. I did it. I had my eyes open and swam my half-lap with my face in the water. When I came up and turned my head to the right for air, I want to say the lifeguard gave me a “thumbs up”! But I had my goggles on, not my glasses. So…there was some kind of gesture. Could’ve been “This is the last time I let you use the lap lane.” LOL
Progress.
Next: Get my ears in without freaking out. We’ll see!
