I feel fortunate to have two good writers as friends. <br /><br />At age 15 or so I nearly drowned in a lake, but was pulled to safety by a stronger-swimming pal. The next morning I was hesitant to get back into the water, but my dad insisted on my practicing the dead man's float as a surivial strategy, which I then mastered. Allus felt grateful to him for that. <br /><br />Nevertheless I didn't go swimming much for many years, but in Korea after we were married, Gwynam schooled me in some basic strokes, which I have kept up sporadically ever since. <br /><br />Greetings to Jonathan.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273816302846279462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-66818282322817105642009-07-15T17:04:08.211-05:002009-07-15T17:04:08.211-05:00Just as long as he doesn't get a cruise ship g...Just as long as he doesn't get a cruise ship gig waltzing with widows, I'll be fine.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567662679581657811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-26090245956109945552009-07-14T21:02:26.350-05:002009-07-14T21:02:26.350-05:00This might be proof that nurture can't overcom...This might be proof that nurture can't overcome nature. :) Kudos to you for fighting the good fight though. <br />We had mandatory (well, mandatory per our parents) swimming lessons from babyhood till lifeguard certification (aka guppies to Swimmer II, I think). I got a mom exemption. At 12, I wasn't allowed to advance to the next class till I was 15. Something about Red Cross rules. My mom couldn't justify making me take the same class for four years, so she let me skip out. Phew!<br />I have a theory though. You dance well. You do good in oxygen. Me, I'm awkward in oxygen, but great in water. Basically, Jamie's rejection of water means he's probably going to be Fred Astaire.Julienoreply@blogger.com
