One of us in this picture can swim.
Monday, our littlest goes swimming. She is doing quite well, back stroke is coming on nicely. Now I cannot swim well, being mostly self taught. Mainly by falling in the beck fully clothed, in the middle of winter, wearing school uniform. I found that a form of doggy paddle with added flounder seemed to be reasonably successful in the prevention of drowning or taking in water. Actually, the beck wasn't very deep. Only a few feet. It also wasn't very clean, what with the odd sheep widdling in it, then falling in and drowning.
All in all, the weekly trip to the local pool is quite a civilised way of learning to swim.
