So we had our first swimming lesson with Standard 5... :) On the walk to Sanana gym we asked the kids if they could swim and got confident "Yes Madams!" from at least 10 of the 13. Then we got in the water and watched as they proceeded to flail wildly in panic or slowly sink to the bottom. We managed to organise them into advanced (Those who could stay afloat without drowning) and beginners ( those who clung wildly to my leg and screamed when the water splashed them.) We practised holding our breath under water, kicking our legs while holding the float, and staying afloat without crippling Madam Miriam. Joseph Katana somehow managed to always start kicking juuust as I passed behind him. Bless his cotton socks. I accidentally splashed him back after the 5th time. :) It was so much fun, I cant wait for next Friday. Although I may invest in goggles and waterproof armour...
