“Was it hard for you to learn?” I asked.

“Yup. You’re doing a lot better than I did, Mindy! I think it helps that you are super motivated. And you’ve grown up around water, so you’re not afraid of it. When I was first starting out, I was really scared, so it was hard for me to even keep my head down in the water!”

“Really?”

“Yup, but I stuck through it, and by the end of the semester I was doing laps in the school pool all by myself!”

“That’s amazing!” I said. “I’m so glad you didn’t quit, Julie. Otherwise, how are we supposed to go swimming with manatees and dolphins together? Or go snorkeling?”

Dad and Julie laughed.

“Thanks, Mindy,” Julie said. “I’m glad I didn’t quit either. It’s important to overcome our fears! They can sometimes hold us back from making great memories with the people we love.”

“Julie and I had so much fun swimming in Key West,” Dad said. “I really hope we can all go together someday!”

“Me too!” I said.

“Even so, Mindy, I don’t want you to put too much pressure on yourself,” Dad added. “Swimming is a good skill to have, and we can’t wait to do fun family activities with you, but the thing we want most of all is for you to be safe. It’s so important to take as much time as you need to properly learn how to swim!”

“Don’t worry, Dad,” I said. “I’ll take my time. I’ll learn how to swim so we can go see the manatees! And the dolphins!”

We all laughed and pulled in together for another group hug.
