You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I never understood how a adult can't swim. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see someone do it once, even in TV and know 80% of what to do.

The beach is of course different with waves and undertow.
My dad had to be able to tread water for 30 minutes to pass basic training. He can tread water like a SOB. Can’t swim a lick. Lkl

I would definitely send her. A good swim teacher is hard to find from what I hear from some parents. Also he's a babysitter at the same time 2 for 1!
The local Harley Davidson dealer is LOADED. He searched this guy out when his kids were young and brought him in to the area to teach them and their friends. Word got out a little and he brought him back the next year for more extended friends. Been coming for the last 10 years or so but I guess you basically have to know someone that’s been to get invited.


Ava goes this year and hopefully the guy comes back a few more years for Abel. I know eventually word will get out too much and they’ll shut it down.

I swam like a fish. I was never interested in sun bathing....didn't like the sun on me...….still don't . My parents taught me to swim just like they taught me to ride my bike without training wheels too. I would stay in the water....usually totally under it....all of the time,'til it was lunch! Always had a picnic basket of chip-chop ham sandwiches and fruit. I could buy pop from the coke machine.....I usually had orange or grape Nehi soda

My dad was in the Navy for 22 years. Would tell a story about how when you passed the equator all the new guys had to jump in the water. I guess it was a tradition. He said they always showed the movie Jaws or something like it the night before.

Also they would mess with some of the new guys and have them on deck to call out when they passed the equator. Some idiots actually believed there is a line in the ocean.

Zero doubt in my mind my wife’s best friend could be convinced there’s a line in the ocean for the equator.


Still haven’t been able to convince her to :censored2: me yet though.

1) no. Indoor pools are not common here lol

2) I have no idea really how to teach swimming.

This guy comes in gives lessons to maybe a dozen kids in. Private heated pool. No parents are allowed within sight distance of the kids. If your kid can’t swim at the end of 2 weeks you get your money back.

My dad can’t swim
And they are alone a decent amount so I think it’s important she know how.

Better send pops while your at it
