The Girl is like a fish in the water. When she was three I stopped to pick her up at our care giver’s house after work. They were in the pool as usual and Cathy asked if she could try something. Sure.
She took off The Girl’s floaties and threw her into the pool. The Girl sunk 4 ft to the bottom and sat there. Cathy jumped in and plucked her out. She blinked the water out of hr eyes and smiled. Cathy said to ‘get the kid some swimming lessons’ since she had absolutely no fear of the water.
I quickly enrolled her in some private lessons and she went for almost a year. By the time she turned four she was diving into the deep end and swimming to the length of the pool. She stopped going because she was too young to start the next class that she had to be 5 for.
She is still part dolphin and seems to spend more time under the water than above it.
