I got a new student. Tiffany a young mother of 3 swimming children, an African American woman with a million tiny braids and long decorative nails. She had green froggie child's goggles but they didn't stay on so I gave her mine. I taught her how to breathe and float on her back and she said I'm no longer afraid!

 High five!

She said her sons swim but her daughter suddenly became scared so she figured as the mom she would learn and help the daughter. I said VERY SMART IDEA!!

Patrick the Japanese boy swam breast stroke for half hour with the noodle. I said are you ready to try it without the noodle. HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!
