Hi Louise,
Wot a great analogy!
I'm in at the shallow end taking a breath to start dog paddling across the pool.

Thanks Louise.
What a wonderful way you have with words.
I think That I'm about a third down the pool. Ihave lifted my feet and am gingerly making my way deeper and deeper.
I have the odd doubt and have to put my feet down just to check. The deep end looks far away, but not so far that I can't see it. I can see the great time being had by all the stronger swimmers, and I'm looking forward to being able to join them soon.

To those of you still having swimming lessons or trying on your own, keep it up and good luck....To the more experienced swimmers, there are always new little skills to learn.....But the one marvellous thing about this pool is IT NEVER CLOSES......

Love from Louise xxx

Very good- although ducks do not need swimming lessons. I am a pro. Quack Quack.

You are a unique and special kitty if you like to swim. I thought kitties did not like wet fur and wet whiskers. Well, @ least American kitties do not. You always have been different ( in a good way!)

I will see you in the pool @ the Marco Polo game.

Until then- All the best and just keep paddling. The longer you are in the water, the more comfortable it feels.

Damn good stuff Louise. I loved it and you gave me much to think about...........I want to be in the deep end too.

I think you should dream up and post more scenarios for us. I once watched a golf training tape when I was a new golfer (It was something my boyfriend won at a golf outing). I watched it before I went golfing that morning and it had you watching a perfect swing over and over again. I was to make you visualize yourself doing the same perfect swing. Tell you what it sure did not hurt anything.

In the spirit of bumping back up to make sure it gets read by everyone, I'm posting, plus I'd like to add a request for a swimming instructor (or pool decoration, or whatever we want to call him).

Great thread Louise. Thanks!! So visual. Great analogy.

So, I picked my feet up and discovered I can float.. (the upside of not having a muscular, toned body ) I'm drifting into deeper waters, slowly, cautiously and keeping my head above water. Now it's time for some lessons from George or Brad or whoever that man is ... just there... in front of me... I'm dog-paddling over to get some lessons.:H

Fan thank YOU.....When I wrote that piece I just didn't have the faintest idea it would get this sort of reception..I must be honest though and say that when these things pop into my head they are usually a bit scrambled, so I think about them, re-arrange them, write and then re-write them, and finally post them, for me they are one of the things I use in my war on alcohol, to know that they are helping others, well as we say here in the UK, that is the cherry on the cake for me....

Just in case I do decide to write a book......Do you know any good literary agents????Ha Ha ..
