Michelle, 34, "Sometimes someone just has to break it down for you"
Once she got over the water on her face, Michelle began blowing her bubbles and figuring out the whole inhale (in the air)/ exhale (in the water) routine. The beauty of it is that the air is always there. It's consistent.
Gary, 39, "When are we going to Hawaii?"
Gary mentioned that he doesn't swim. Well, everyone has his own definition of 'swim,' so I figured he couldn't swim laps, but was probably fine in the water. But, now that the twins are swimming so well, there has been talk of a trip to Hawaii next fall and Gary has not been very excited.
Cindy, 51, "It is my destiny to swim!"
She was so excited to swim, which of course made working with her extra enjoyable. She was 100% present.
Sandy, 68, "A dream come true"
I had polio as a child. I fully recovered, but it took a couple of years. When other kids were learning to swim, I was too weak to participate.
Jerry, 39, "Drowning has no prejudice"
This is one of the many things about drowning that scares me: Drowning has no prejudice. The water doesn't care if you are young, old, athletic, lazy, thin, fat, black, white, rich, poor, gay, straight, smart, successful or popular.
