Learning to Swim

Qy starts learning to swim this week. It is more of water confidence for now rather than to learn the strokes. She is wary of the coach and maintained her distance. She is fearful of holding her breathe to go underwater. She is rather hesitate to put her mouth near the water to blow bubbles too. The coach had to resort to scooping up water in his palm, put his palm in front of her mouth and ask her to blow at the water. Still no bubbles. Just small waves in the palm from all her blowing.
Progress was slow, but being the first lesson, I should be more patient At least at the end of the lesson, the coach was able to gain her trust and was able to carry her. I am already very satisfied with that.
