learn to swim

I am really concered about taking classes while I’m trying to dredlock my hair. I’m not sure that it can take it. Hopefully, I’ll remember to discuss this with the loctician at my next appointment. The next step of action would be finding out where I can take classes & how much they’ll cost. Evening, non-daily preferred. And cheap.

Oh. Last summer, an uncle said he would teach me. I guess I can check with him too.

And frankly, it’ be wise to do some leg exercises. I need stronger thigh muscles to do that stuff (treading water, at least). Maybe I can focus on learning during the second half of summer—mid-July or August.

Oh. And I should clarify, I want to learn how to swim above the water and do more things in general in the water than I currenly know how to do. I can swim underwater. I still almost drowned once since learning that. What I really want is to have the confidence that I will not drown when I’m in a pool, something that I will gain only after I can do several things that equal me moving in water that is higher than 5 ft deep.

It’s quite sad. I have an uncle that’s willing to teach me, but I don’t have the cash to meet him at a public park to learn. Oh for finding a job!
