I can’t swim, so I want to learn it this summer. The rivers were blue and green and looked very deep when I was younger, that’s why I’ve always been afraid of water and didn’t learn how to swim. I just found a good teacher who can teach me how to swim. She is my friend’s daughter and she is a 13-year-old middle school student. She can swim very well, because she’s been learning since she was 6 years old, and practices a lot everyday.
