About four weeks ago an older women contacted the aquatic department and expressed interest in learning to swim with our private swim lessons. She had a couple of near drowning experiences and was very afraid of the water. The aquatic staff assured her they would take their time and help to feel comfortable in the water.
During her first class, it took her a couple of minutes to get used to the water, but by the end of the class, she was able to go under water and retrieve a diving toy. At her second class she was able to – for the first time in her life - float in the water with a noodle to keep her balance. She was so moved by the experience, she began to cry.
This swimmer just finished her third lesson and she is swimming with a noodle from the middle of the pool to the end. Her main goal is to be able to swim without a noodle from one side of the pool to the other.
