I was lacking confidence in the water but the instructor put me at ease immediately. Within three lessons I had learnt better strokes, how to stay bouyant in the water, and how to breathe when doing the front crawl. After a long and debilitating illness I couldn't believe how quickly I progressed. I am so excited that the next time my grandchildren come to visit I am going to be able to keep up with them in the pool, especially my six year old granddaughter who is like a little mermaid.
