It's Ok To Swim- Marlon Andrew

It's ok to swim. In some of my kayaking experiences swimming has been looked down upon. But after swimming twice on my first day, I realized that if I couldn't get up all I had to do was pull my skirt, grab my gear and head to the side of the river. After all three swims I have had, I have gone through and pointed out why I flipped, what iI could have done to change that and why I swam. This process has made me feel better about swimming and I already feel less nervous about running bigger rapids because  I know that most likely the worst thing that could happen is that I swim.
