I learned to swim as a child and guess how? I couldn’t swim and hated whenever water went up my nose, the pain! I used to swim wearing inflatable armbands or a rubber ring around my waist/chest but one day, I forgot to wear my inflated rubber ring. I just walked straight into the public swimming pool without my inflated rubber ring and started swimming around as normal like a pro🤣🤣, close to the edge of the pool when I noticed a lightness around my waist. At first I was horrified and scared as the realisation set in but these feelings were soon followed by excitement, happiness and pride. I shoutied over to my friend “look, look, I forgot my swimming ring and I’m swimming without it! I can swim, I can swim!” This is totally true!
if you want to learn to swim, take swimming lessons, you will succeed. Once you learn it’s like riding a bIke, you never forget how to do it.
I even swam for my secondary school, won and received a trophy. I used to take my son swimming and go with my friends but I only swim now when I go on my holidays but I will try to start visiting my local Swimming Pool soon. I love swimming.
