Noone believe how Romi and her friend Mekhal (the same age of her), deciededtogather to teach me a swimming lesson.They were playing togather when they called me to help them sewing toysclothes, and I did.After that they asked me, ” do you want to come with us to the sea? I said,yes sure.
The two young girls start negotiated their mothers to go to the sea, afterlong negotiation, they maneged to take me to Romi’s cousin swimming pool in” Hertzelia ” .
It was the first swimming lesson I receive in my life, and a difficult onetoo.Romi and Mekhal are professional swimmers. They asked me to stand in thepool, they said, ” please look and watch what we are doing first. I was inthe middle of them.
The first exercise, Romi said, ” twice you have to make deep inhalation, andthe third time you should close your mouth and immerse in the pool, getingout of it very slowly with exhalation ” . I didn’t success at the first time,but the young girls said, ” no, you should repeat the exercise with us againand again unless you success. I followed the instructions, and I tried itagain and again. All the time the young girls were claping for me.
The seconed exercise, Romi said, ” put your right hand at the edge of thewall, and keep your left hand pushing strongly the wall inside the water,with immersion in the pool, raising your body up under the water and movingyour foots up and down very quickly in the water too, the young girls werewatching me carefully, they helped me to practice this difficult exerciseuntill I did it by my self.
The third exercise, Romi and Mekhal brought two open swimming straps, theyshowed me how to use one by my self after putting it back of me, and theother strap they were hold it after I raised my legs on it, and they took meto the deepness area in the swimming pool.
Really, I was scared, it was the first time I made swimming exercise, I wasasking the girls for returning, but I was told to be patient, they said,” please don’t worry, you will not fall down, we are holding you, and justyou should be relax, and try to help us.All the time I used to give instrctions and advises to Romi at home, and nowI must lessen to her advise, the continued helping me swimming unless wesuccess togather. Then I ranaway out of the pool.
