[quote=flu][quote=walterwhite]I’m taking swimming lessons. In my yard from my kid. They were howling w laughter at mh feeble kicking this weekend. howling. I’m gonna swim by the end of summer but never as fast as that damn swim team adolescent boy.

I can kind of swim but my kid described it as more temporarily avoiding sinking.

I’m thinking we should open a swim school. Maybe deduct the pool?[/quote]

You wouldn’t be the first person… There’s someone that lives in C.V. and has a pretty big pool. He “rents” it to a swim instructor….[/quote]

Back in the good ol days (says the cranky old woman) the Red Cross had back-yard-swim lessons. My mom was a certified teacher and our pool was used for lessons. Various moms in the neighborhood would get certified – then teach the neighborhood kids. They had different levels: beginner, advanced begginer, intermediate, lifeguard training…

I figure this program was killed for liability / insurance reasons.
