Going Swimmingly.

I'm back to teaching lessons again.
Currently, 3 teen siblings and two friends, good people. They improve rapidly, and can go for two hours; understand the basics of physics. So much nicer teaching taller bodies too, and in a group, they "push" each other.
Little ones you can teach to swim too, but you have to integrate the "fun" in a different game-splashing sort of way, lest they become discouraged. Here, it's one hundred percent about the skills teaching, building on the drills, and, I'm learning, knowing when to go forward and ask for more of them, and when they need to catch their breath. The better we get with mastering the breathing, the less breaks we'll need.

Weekend already?
