Your mom is so great.you must be so proud of her.My grandma never learned swimming because in her childhood,women swim is not very common in that society. Now they are maybe afraid,or a little shy.^^If i have a pool in my house future,i will teach my grandma!

Hello!
When I was a little child, about 4 or 5 years old I went to the swimming pool a lot and my fater taught me everything I have to know. From this time I knew how to swim but I didn't swim so good.
When I was a little bit older I improved my swimming in a special circle with teachers...

My dad taught me swimming, he was really a great techer. Thanks to him I'm not afraid of water at all, but I realise how dangerous it can be. Cheers and happy myloting.

Hi my friend ^_^ !! you know this subject remind me of what has my brother done to me when we were in the swimming pool together ..my mother and my sisters were there too. He first tried to attract me to swim with him in the deep water, but I started to shout at him from far way that I can't swim in this water without anything oh gad !!the water was very creepy..than he tried to push me ,but he couldn't so he stasrted to convinse me that every thing is going to be ok and he wanted to teach me how to swim in the deep water .finally I tried once but I couldn't slam my feet very fast so I screamed and my brother came and saved me the socend time I've done it for the first time in my life ....do you know how did he convince me ? He said to me swimming is human being so you can swim and take your self out of the water without even realizing it and it naturally happens...great experience.

Swiming freely in the water is so awesome!You just like a small fish.Enjoy yourself!
Good day...o(n_n)o...

I learnt swimming when I was at the University. We had to take the "physical education program". So, I took swimming. I really enjoyed that. Didn't take too long. In a couple of weeks I could swim across the pool !

From the time I was a baby my mom always took me swimming , we both have always loved the water. We had a small 3ft pool that we used all summmer , but I never swam in the deep end of any pool .
When we were on vacation I Oh so wanted to go in the deep end , but my parents said no . As we were leaving the pool I ran off and jumped in the deep end , and it just came natural . Thankfully

I was raised by my grandparent and they placed me in simming lessons from the age of 5. I loved it and kept with it all through High School. My daughter is now 6 and has been swimming like a little fish for about 3 years. It is great exercise and a nice relaxing thing to do as a family!
