15 lessons into the summer, I can finally do something that resembles swimming! For the longest time, I couldn't figure out how to hold my body so that I could float on my stomach - my front would float, but my legs would sink and pull me down. Today, at the end of class, we played a game called Sharks and Minnows. The instructors stood in the middle of the pool and were the sharks. We were the minnows, and we were supposed to swim by them. If our heads were out of the water, they could tag us and we became sharks the next round. Somehow, during the first round of the game, I figured out how to hold my body so that my legs didn't sink! I already had my kick down decently, so for the very first time ever, I almost sorta swam! I still can't integrate the arms without disrupting my legs, or breathe, but hey, progress is progress right? At this rate, maybe I will learn to swim by the end of the year!
