Swimming can be tough to learn. Here is a fact about me: My mother-in-law who is over sixty doesn't know how to swim despite having 4 kids and many many grand kids all of whom I'm pretty sure can swim.

When I was young I too had to take swimming lessons and was actually on a swim team that competed in swimming at the YMCA.

Sort:  

Wow! Over sixty? I don’t know if I’d be the same! I always try to learn it by going to the beach often!

Really? YMCA? That’s cool.. You’re a fast learner! I guess it should start within us. I guess I should conquer my Thalassophobia first! Baby steps!

Yep and she has no interest in learning. I am fast learner for some things computer tech stuff yes but swimming I did for several years and still wasn't very good :) . I did win a few medals and trophies. However, they do give out a lot of those to the younger kids. I was a bit chubby as a kid and wearing a speedo and being a bit overweight doesn't always help ones ego. So as an Adult it is board shorts never speedos :)

But still you learned how to swim. That’s already an achievement. And more of achievements when you got medals and trophies! Wait how were you not very good if you won medals and trophies? Hmm?

I’m a bit lost with speedos so I had to look it up on google haha! I thought you mean the brand haha! Board shorts and speedos.. vocab for me! Hahaha!
