Swimming lessons

After talking about my snorkeling experience in Ireland I have convinced one of my friends that it is time to learn how to swim. 

Tomorrow I will be giving Madina her first swimming lesson and after she learns how to swim she will have the power to explore the underwater world like so many people never get to do!!!! 

I have never taught someone how to swim. Does anyone have any pointers? lol

    First step: teach her to float!

      Yes we definitely will be working on that.

    The first thing she's going to have to conquer is the fear of putting her face in the water. I've only taught children to swim. I think with adults there's a whole other psychological element you have to work with. If you have a kickboard, that would be helpful.

    How did it end up going? I bet you received a few quizzical looks from bystanders. Were you any good at coaching?

    Thanks for the advice you guys. Her first lesson went surprisingly well. I thought she was very brave considering her childhood fear of water. I think she will be up-and-floating in no time!!!
