I watched this video and felt it calming and it also made me stop for a moment and be grateful that I have been able to see most everything in real life that is in this video. I was so young when I learned to swim and it is a gift that last a life time....Thanks to Nanny teaching me to swim and mom teaching me to float I can escape into another world. I swear when I start to snorkel in Aqaba I lose all track of time and I forget everything on land. I hear different sounds and see such bright colored fish of every shape and size . It is like going into a dream for me but it is real life....What a gift these two women gave me and now they have passed from this life and I still remember how they taught me to swim.......They made it relaxing and fun. They never scared me but gave me confidence. I went on to become a lifeguard and teach many people to swim the same way I was taught and that is to teach them to float then swim so they are confident and happy. One of my happiest memories is snorkeling with my children in Aqaba seeing such beauty together....As for scuba diving I did it once in the Bahamas long ago and I made it down 60 ft after being terrified my mask was going to fog up and I might get chocked on salt water way down on the bottom of my dive site.I relaxed and enjoyed my time once I got about 6 ft under water it was just the first part having all the weights on my body that felt so unnatural until you become light in the water. Today I am just feeling so lucky to have had good teachers to allow me to have been able to enjoy this beautiful world that so many people have never seen. I am not done teaching yet..I still have to teach our twins and guess who else??? My husband ......seeing beauty is great but even greater if we can share the memory in the future with another person....a friend, husband, a child.....
