Dedication

Emma goes to swimming class once a week at the local high school. Actual high-school students teach the class and, I have to say, they do a really good job. The class is divided into levels with the level 1 students being the youngest and concentrating on things like getting their faces wet and simply getting comfortable being in the water. Yesterday I witnessed the dedication these teens have to their students. One of the level 1 kids threw up on her instructor after apparently swallowing a too much pool water. Not to be too graphic but let's just say the little girl scored a direct hit. To his credit, the instructor wiped it off, someone came and skimmed the pool, sprayed the deck, and class went on. Never has my line of work called for me to potentially be vomited upon and I'm glad because were that to happen, you'd all be on your own and I would be outta there. So, kudos to the swimming instructors, you give teenagers everywhere a good name. Plus anyone with the patience to teach six year olds the back stroke deserves some praise.

  • Can Emma do the back stroke yet? That is the stroke I did on the swim team in high school.
