Our novice swimmer goes the distance

Wednesday marked my second-to-last adult swim lesson at Frances Meadows Aquatic Center. It also marked my first time swimming across the pool, a full 25 yards, from the three-foot side of the pool to the six-foot side. I started the day’s lesson shakily trying to put together the separate arm movement and kick of the breaststroke, with my instructor Max Sumner guiding me along.
