Leisure Skills

One of my newfound favorite ways to stay active at Clemson is by participating in leisure skills classes. This semester I signed up for my first leisure skill ever, Top Rope (rock climbing). It takes place at the Rock Wall in Fike Recreation Center. I have enjoyed it very much because it is a relaxed class that lets everyone go at their own pace. It is a great opportunity for me to try an activity that I had never tried before and improve my skills each week.

My leisure skill class also offers a great break in the week from my other classes. I look forward to it as a time to relax and have fun, while still getting exercise. I also got a little taste of what Tennis class is like when one of my friends called me and asked me to play with him when there was an uneven number of students in class. Tennis class is also very relaxed and fun, yet it offers an opportunity to always have people to play with, work on your skills with, and learn from.

Some of my friends have taken classes such as scuba, bowling, soccer, yoga, meditation & relaxation, and golf. I have heard great things about each of these classes. After my experience this semester, I have decided that I am going to take one leisure skill per semester for my remaining time at Clemson, as long as my schedule allows it.
