For now, swimming lessons are over. As an Australian it's quite usual to not show your "pride" or "boast" about your accomplishments because there's this idea that if you do you are egocentric. You know what?! I am proud of what I've just done and you know what else, I'm OK to share that pride. For me it's not about being egocentric it's about sharing my accomplishment or rather the fact that I overcame a fear. Make of it what you will.
I'm very impressed by this. I have another friend who can neither ride a bike nor swim, but won't even try to learn even though he really wants to.
