history: My niece is visiting and we have a pool.  She has not had access to a pool for most of her childhood ad does not know how to swim.  She is figuring it out very quickly though and her confidence is increasing as her skills do.  It's very exciting to watch her skills and confidence soar and she feels it too. My niece can't swim but has is staying with us for a bit and we have a pool.  Her skills are increasing and her confidence is soaring!
current: thats awesome .. how long has she been learning?
next: Just today and yesterday.  She is 8 and hasn't had access to water as she lives in the mountains.  She has gone from not being able to touch the bottom with her hand to picking up dive sticks and even swimming over the ladder in the deep end.
