Adventures in Swimming Lessons

Earplugs in place, a shark cap on his head
a tentative toe dipped into the cool water.
"I'm not sure I want to do this..."

Big brother mere feet away bobbing in the pool
"This is great!"  Climbing out only to jump in again-
Fearless and laughing.

Big breath, try again.  Down one step, then another.  Look Mom!
A big grin, two thumbs up.  One more step. I'm in!
Wait, you want me to swim?

Look to Sam again- kicking across the pool, loving it!
Sliding down the slide, floating on his back, learning strokes.
He's a fish.

Grasp the float and kick across the pool.  Hey, not too bad.
Face in the water?  I can do that!  Blow bubbles- I'm a pro-
This swimming thing's ok.

The diving board?

The diving board???

Maybe next week!

Great article. You have discussed the important facts of diving which is the sport of jumping into water from a platform. Really these lessons are useful for the learners. Thanks for sharing. Along with this article, I would like to share some facts about the hammerhead sharks habitat which are a group of sharks that form the family sphyrnidae.
