It was an ecstatic feeling that I didn’t think I’d have when my 8 year old son successfully swam by coordinating hands , legs and breathing across the full width of the pool. He just looked so accomplished as he came out of the water to breath. I saw an image of myself. He had tried for a dozen times i think.
Now there are other sub skills to learn like raising hips , increasing stamina , better coordination , free style, floating , deep end swimming and butterfly stroke.
After a nasty day at work, this seemed to make everything right.
