I can swim I can swim I can swim I can swim!!!

Ever since Naoko, my swimming teacher, left Japan for PEI,
I've stopped trying to learn to swim..just cuz it's so hard to find an english-speaking teacher here...
but this monday, i decided to go to the pool by myself...
here is my progress this week!
Monday: 20 x 25m... out of which...about half were done with a board doing crawl...a few trying breaststrokes...too slow...and the other ones without a board doing crawl...could go probably 15m the farthest...which I was happy about cuz it used to be 5m max...
Wednesday: 24 x 25m... out of which... a little less than half were done with a board doing crawl... gave up on breaststrokes for the time being... the rest without a board...and succeeded 3 times doing 25m! ^^
Friday: 25 x 25m... out of which, 3 ways with a board, and the rest without, doing crawl... and this time, I succeeded 17 times doing 25m end to end! at the end, I really wanted to do a few more, but I didnt have time anymore...
but I've gotta keep going until I can feel totally comfortable with crawl...and hopefully Naoko will come back soon to see what she has done! ^^
Woohoo!

You should go with CoCo and I usually on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.
I am teaching her to swim and she is making progress. But she likes to go it alone and can walk in the small pool now.

I can pretty much help you... and they have badminton there on that day too. We can play a little too!!
