I saw this New York Times story today and was completely inspired. It speaks so much to the feelings so many of my adult learners have as they are conquering their fears and learning to relax in the water and ultimately, learning to swim.

Congratulations to Attis Clopton for bravely taking this step and changing his life. And to instructor Lori Pailet for helping him get there. I only wish I had the chance to meet them both in person.
