All that nervousness and we didn't even get in the pool tonight! We just talked about the lessons and the different age groups and classes, etc. Matt came with me tonight because he was going to watch me swim and he just had to sit there the whole time and watch us talk! Tomorrow, we are going to be leading an activity with different classes of children. I will be leading something in the "Pikes" group. They are 3-5 years old in the beginning class. So tonight was very easy.
I still can't swim though. The GOOD thing about tonight is that the director set me up to meet with the very nice lifeguard who helped me last night to work through some of the strokes step by step. (she did all of this after I sent her a very nice email expressing my concern about learning the strokes, haha) The BAD news is that I am meeting him tomorrow at 5:30am!!!! We are meeting to practice the strokes and diving. He is VERY kind to do that for me... but 5:30!!! He even asked me, "Do you have anything going on from 5:30-6:30?" Ha! Well... SLEEP! But really, I am very thankful for his willingness to help.
SO, we'll see how the practice goes, and how the class goes tomorrow night. Oh - the other good news is that the director expects that we will be finished with the class completely by Thursday! That would mean I wouldn't have to go Friday or Sunday. Then again, I might NEED that time! We'll see...
Anyway, I'll keep up with the updates and hopefully I'll have a better outlook on things after tomorrow!
