I LOVE to swim. In fact, it's the only sport I'm good at!
My dad taught me to swim in the pool at our motel when we went to California on vacation. I was probably six or seven.
My mom grew up on a ranch in New Mexico ... a LONG way from any water. She never learned as a child, and it grew to be somthing she was afraid of as time went on. However, she DID learn to swim in my aunt's pool when she was in her 70's. Go Mom!
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
