Eleuthera Outreach Recap
This year we expanded our outreach to the open water, which is the big picture goal since this is the primary access point to water for everyone on the island.
DIY Teach Your Child How to Swim Skill #1: Get Your Face Wet
Goal: Put your entire face comfortably into the water and open your eyes.
Ifeanyi "Water intimidates me" (32 years old)
It's one of the last adjectives I would use when describing water: intimidating. But this is how Ifeanyi (Ife) felt about it and I was ready to change her perception.
Gary "When are we going to Hawaii?" (39 years old)
Gary mentioned that he doesn't swim. Well, everyone has his own definition of 'swim,' so I figured he couldn't swim laps, but was probably fine in the water. But, now that the twins are swimming so well, there has been talk of a trip to Hawaii next fall and Gary has not been very excited.
Cindy "It is my destiny to swim!" (51 years young)
She was so excited to swim, which of course made working with her extra enjoyable. She was 100% present.
