Not sure if this is true, but hearing some of the CF stories on here I wouldn't be surprised.

That has to be a hoax!

TeaByTheSeaside · 21/12/2018 12:56

I've seen this on Facebook. I think it's made up.

HeffalumpsDaughter · 21/12/2018 12:59

That’s surely just total bullshit.

FabulouslyGlamorousFerret · 21/12/2018 13:00

Love it 🤣 wasn't there a thread on here from the perspective of a woman who occasionally taught kids to swim - I wonder if it's here?

Soubriquet · 21/12/2018 13:10

Wow if that’s true that woman is scarily nasty

GhostSauce · 21/12/2018 13:18

I found the sub reddit it was taken from - it's basically a whole CF sub.

(obviously i'm going to be doing no work for the rest of the day)

I think it's fake. It must be!

WilburforceRaven · 21/12/2018 13:20

Wouldn't surprise me if it's true given the CFers I've read about on here.

WitsEnding · 21/12/2018 13:33

I'd say hoax.

As a single mother, I wasn't allowed to take more than one child under 8 in the water with me at the council pool (or sit on the edge with my legs in the water and watch them from two feet away), so perhaps I'd have expected an unofficial swimming teacher to be one-on-one.

I am not a single mother. I am not any kind of mother but I am fat and lazy so can I have free lessons please?

It was posted on Reddit a few weeks ago, there was some speculation and people went through the OP's comment history and it did seem to tally up.

There is a website where you can fake these messages, but this didn't have the hall mark.

Justanotherlurker · 21/12/2018 15:29

Ahj, Ive seen you have posted the link to the sub, I think it initially started on another one and ended up there, I will try and find it when I get back, also the imgr hosting has a load of people sleuthing on it

Hoax
