When I was in college I paid
Big money to take a beginning
Swimmng class and began with
The basics
During one class I was in at about
Chest high level and without
Realizing it drifted into the 6 foot
Depth and did not know how to
Tread water
Lucky for me, someone grabbed me
By the hair and pulled me to the
Shallow side
In later years I naturally and without
Any stress taught myself how to
Swim and it did not cost a thing.
