My mom wanted me to learn so I could feel comfortable. I kept taking the beginning class over and over but could never move on. So my mom put a pool in the back yard. She spent time with me and let me get comfortable. I could take my time and control how deep I went. Before long I was swimming like a fish. I'm so glad you were able to have fun in the water. I love your fabric book.

However when Dom and I took a year off to 'tra la la' I took lessons so that I could swim on the Great Barrier Reef. I cannot say I like swimming but I can do three strokes in a row...just!<br />Best wishes<br />JennyThe Custardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632655608950737315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6491505641894839197.post-7119512791666646482013-03-21T07:54:16.617+00:002013-03-21T07:54:16.617+00:00That looks like centre parcs am I right?
