Swimming Pool 1 : Lachie 0

Usually I have boundless energy.

This morning we started swimming lessons in Summit. Mum said only big kids who tried really hard get to go to swimming lessons and so I was determined to show her that that was me! So I kicked double time. I jumped into the water at great lengths and speeds. I sang the songs. I blew bubbles when asked. I even suffered through floating on my back. For 25 minutes. I did this for 25 minutes. The class however was 30 minutes long.
After 25 minutes I told mum I was done. Finished. Out. Done. I was exhausted.
Mum complied.

I was quiet all the way home in the car.

When we got home mum suggested we play on the swing set or go for a stick hunt. No. For the first time ever, all I wanted to do was sit down.

Mum was so proud of me. I’ll be swimming in no time!
