So I decided to purchase a Muslimah swimming suit after thinking about it for some time. I realised I had to buy one because I enjoy swimming very much and I was starting to feel really itchy about getting back into the pool.
The reason I have been putting off to buy the aurat-friendly swimming suit is that I wasn't sure if I could ever have a good swim wearing a burkini. Reason being it had a skirt which I thought would slow me down when I swam.
How wrong was I. Last Friday I put my new swimming suit on, went to a nearby pool and started my swim workout. Wow! Swimming never felt so good. I swam like a fish in the water and never stopped. I think I did approximately 20 laps and felt really good. My initial fear of feeling heavy was wiped off. The suit was never a hindrance for me to swim. In fact I felt I swam better and faster.
Before I wore a swim outfit that was knee high and one that showed my arms. I also had to put a swimming cap which I always feared would slip off as I swam. With my burkini, the swimming cap was attached to the swimsuit thus I could swim without fearing that my cap would disappear into the water.
Thus it was a really good investment and one that made me sure that I would continue with my swimming exercise this 2015. There are swimming pools everywhere in JB thus it is not an excuse to say that there are no available pools nearby.
Happy New Year 2015.
Be safe where you are.
