Saya pertama kali mencoba renang air terbuka ketika musim panas datang dan saya memutuskan untuk ikut sebuah komunitas lokal yang gemar menjelajahi danau, sungai, dan pantai. Awalnya, saya merasa ragu. Airnya gelap, arusnya tidak pasti, dan tentu saja, keamanan menjadi pertanyaan besar di kepala saya. Tapi begitu saya menempelkan wajah saya ke air dan mulai mengayuh, rasa takut itu perlahan menghilang, tergantikan oleh sensasi kebebasan yang belum pernah saya rasakan sebelumnya.
