Dear Plumpy,
Remember how I was so scared about swimming lessons? Well, not only did I survive (obviously!) but I’ve actually turned into a pretty good swimmer! I guess you were right about the water – it’s not so scary when you know what you’re doing. We learned all about water safety before we started which gave me a bit of confidence so I wasn’t quite so terrified when the time came to take the plunge.
I learned how to put my face in the water and dive down and pick up rings from the bottom of the lake. And I could float on my back and kick with my legs. Once we were comfortable with that we started learning to tread water and do the front crawl. I still have a hard time getting the breathing right while I’m doing the front crawl – it’s kind of hard to remember to do everything in the proper order.
But once I felt okay about putting my face in and realized that I wasn’t going to sink to the bottom of the lake like a rock, I felt so much more brave and ready to try more difficult stuff. I still need a lot of practice but just wait until you see how good I am!!!
Love you,
Nibbles
how is nibbles where is she whos her mom
Nibbles! Seriously? Hippos LIVE in water! You shouldn’t be scared of it in the first place!!! :P
The lake must be shallow if she can dive to the bottom!
Oh, I CANNOT swim. I hate trying to swim and I hate swimming lessons.
Same here and I don’t care what people say about not being able to swim
I love ‘Kinz camp! :D I wish I could go to it. :( :P

Good for you, Nibbles, for facing your fears. I am a pretty good swimmer too.

That’s great!I might have been scared at first too. :roll: :D really i might have. ~:: kkf~~kinzklipfan~~ :: $
I was so scared of swimming for a looonggg time. When ever we went swimming i would stay in the shallow end and would not get my head wet at all. Then finally two years ago I took swimming lessons for the second time (I took swimming lessons when I was 5) and wasn’t scared of putting my head under but i was still scared of the deep end. Then last year I jumped off of the diving board for the first time. This year I still like the shallow end but am getting much better at swimming in the deep end. I think my problem is that I can’t get the hang of treading water.
~Hi~ :)
I’m good at treading water but not the front crawl.

I totally admire you Nibbles! Yay for you! That’s totally awesome that you overcame your fear! Me, I’m a terrible swimmer, so I despise water. :P
I love to swim too! It is super fun and it is excersise! Nibbles, I knew you could do it! You overcame your fear and I am happy for you! Swimming is great and so much fun so it isn’t good to not like it, or despise it. Though, I find it so hard to swim without scuba diving goggles. I hate to swim with those little tiny ones that only cover your eyes. . . Nibbles, great job! -Moonstar◙◙◙
Yeah I agrea with ya
Swimming is my favorite and the only sport I like!
