OK, so I am still teaching 75 year old Bob to swim twice a week and I love my 2 hours a week with him, a lot. In fact, I will be pretty sad when he decides he has learned enough and we stop having lessons but maybe we can still do lunch.
Thursday I put flippers on Bob and it was like a miracle. The extra momentum he was getting from the fins gave him the ability to really get his arm stroke down. He was SO excited and so was I!!! He swam halfway across the pool by himself (he stopped at the deep-end line of course because he is still terrified).
After we finished a great lesson Bob wanted to take me to lunch, which of course, I was for. We went to Gourmet Market, which I suggested because I knew Chef Holly would make him feel special. After lunch I follwed him over to Swim and Tri to get his own flippers. He spent forever trying them on and finding the perfect fit and while we were checking out at the register i was talking to Patrice about how cool the Nemo swimcaps are and he insisted on buying me one. So, now I am showing it to everyone!
I put it on Simon and he didn't quite know what to think.
Oh, by the way, the cap also has a fin, and a tail.
