Swimming Lessons

My childhood best friend is almost 35 years old and yet, to this day she does not know how to swim properly. The style she uses is a combination butterfly and dog style. But you cannot make her go to the end of the pool.
I remember, many years ago, her father tried to teach her how to swim. He brought her into a river and he demonstrated how to float, swing the arms and move forward into the water. The next thing she knew, her father was already several feet away from her. She cried for help. She almost drowned but he came to the rescue.
Although she doesn’t know the right way of swimming, my best friend can boast of one thing: she knows how to float backwards! Her technique is to think of lying on a bed and just letting go. It works!
