Watch the newspapers to see what water events are scheduled. It is often helpful for a child to witness an aquatic show,
a long-distance swim, or a good amateur swimming meet.
Look for competitive swimming events that include young
swimmers. This will often spur your child to greater heights
in his own achievement.
What will be your feelings after you have completed the ten lessons? You may feel that you are the most accomplished teacher this side of the Rio Grande, and your own self-confidence may be sky-high. But if you should not feel that you are the greatest teacher, it may be because you have not taken a close look at what you have accomplished. What you have accomplished certainly was stimulating. It stimulated everyone's appetite and everyone slept better. It certainly was educational. You learned a lot about the children and they learned a lot about you—in addition to what you all learned about swimming. It certainly was a body builder. "Look, have you noticed how Tom's chest has expanded? . . . Oh, do you think he's bursting with pride?" It certainly has physiological benefits. "Swimming is the best exercise known to man. Don't you think I look a little thinner?" It certainly was social. All of your little group are now "best friends." It surely gave ego-satisfaction. You are being quoted at breakfast, lunch, and dinner because you taught them to swim. The children also have enjoyed the satisfaction of showing what they learned to do in water. It was the foundation of lifesaving—his own or others. Now that the child ca*n swim, he can save his own life; and when he gets older, he can learn to save another person's life. And it certainly was recreational. Everyone had fun! Could you find any other activity where so much could happen in such a short time?
