Review By Mary Amuge, Lake Service Employee :

In Mid March 2021 was my first attempt on water, I was taught to sub- merge my head, body then out on the shallow end of the lake also known as learning to breathe.

The challenging part was when I hadn't grasped yet to balance well in water. I could barely breathe neither see in the blurry waters.
Nothing had seemed to work out yet and I was disappointed at myself. Enid my Colleague had learnt some basics and had enjoyed every bit of it.

As days came and went. To my amazement, Jessica did not give up on me.
That Friday morning as I waited for my colleagues to join in , she told me to try floating on my back.

Oh Jessie, I don't have the words.
'No worries, I will support your waist as you keep afloat', she motivated positively.

After a few tries she let go of me to float on my own and there I was.....floating on my own.
I was super- excited since I was at the verge of giving up - it was like a miracle!
I now grasped one of the vital survival skills.
She was happy for me too.
This was my turning point; I fell in love with swimming - I could not wait for the swim days to come by.
After trying to swim in a life jacket to gain balance, we were told now to step up, to go to the deeper end under the guidance of our Swim Coach, Jessie

We navigated through other strokes that she had taught along that is freestyle, breaststroke, among others.

Another most exciting part of the swimming that I enjoyed was jumping from the small boat secured in the deeper end of the lake and learning how to Tread in the deep waters alias 'cycling in waters' with the legs wide to stay vertically afloat.

Towards the end of April, we were passed out with the Man overboard exercise that we were tested upon.

To crown it all, I will always be grateful to have met Jessie our Swim Coach who built my confidence in open waters with her amazing skills.
Thanks
