Lifescouts: Swimming

Hi!

This badge doesn't have a long story because it's not like I've made it to the US Olympic Swimming Team.

Really all I can say is that I essentially taught myself how to swim. My mom tells me that we visited a park with a lake and I got in and started doggy paddling. From there when I went to the pool with my friends I tried to copy what they were doing. I also tried to copy my mom. I don't have any endurance but apparently I have a pretty good freestyle because whenever I do laps someone tells me that I have great form. . . whatever that means. All I can say is I'm proud that I can make it from one side of the pool to the other at a pretty moderate pace while still being able to catch some air.

How did you learn to swim?
