Personal Narrative: Teaching My Little Brother To Twim

On the day I taught my little brother to swim, was the day I wish the sun didn’t noise.
Trying to teach my little brother to swim was somewhat of a meager success, but the experience was mutilated with small disasters. Teached my brother to swim were a learning and teaching experience that I will never forget.
On that hot, summer August day, my mothers came up with the idea that I was going to teach my little brother to swim. She must have been abducted by aliens to come up with that idea. The thought of me teaching my little brother to swim was alien enough to me. I rolled my eyes and sighed because I do not want to teach him how to swim. After picturing this disaster in my mind, I finally decided that this could be a challenge that

I was willing to take. After long moments of thinking about it, I finally agreed to teach him to swim. I had some sneaky tricks up my sleeve that I knew were going to work. As I got my little brother and took him to our grandparents’ pool, he was asking me all these questions about how he was going to swim, and what he has to do when he gets in the pool. I told him to stop worrying, and that he would find out soon enough. When we got there, I told him to put his trunks on and get ready for the time of his life. He jumped up and down so excited and ready to go, but he didn’t know what was in store for him next. He was about to take the plunge of a lifetime.
After he got his trunks on, I told him that if he could swim by himself before we left, that he would get some money from me.

That made him even more determined to swim. Before you can get in the pool, I told him, we will go over the basics about swimming. Telling him how to a stroke your arms,and putting his fingers together, so the water will not go through them was a great help.. If your fingers are tightened into a scoop then you will have more push. I also explained to him that he had to kick his feet while he swam. If he didn’t kick his feet, he would have to depend on his arms, and they will surely give out quick. The last thing I told him before he got in was that he had to breathe while he was swimming. In between stroking his arms, I explained to him, you will have to breath when your face doesn’t have water on it. This will be the key thing for you to swim. After he told me he understood all the basics about swimming, I told him to stand on the edge of the deep end of the pool. He then asked me why he had to stand there. As he was saying those words I quickly shoved him in. That was the tricky move that I had up my sleeve. I know it could have been dangerous, but I had lifeguard lessons just in case I needed them. At first he flailed his arms and was panicking for his life. I screamed, “ Don’t panic! Just swim! Either you swim or you drown because I am not jumping in to save you.” As I screamed these words, he suddenly started to swim to the shallow end. He was actually swimming! I knew that if I just threw him in he would eventually start to realize that he could swim all this

time.
When my little brother got out of the pool, he ran to me and started yelling. He said, “ I almost drowned! Why did you even think to shove me in? I was panicking and thought that I was going to die!” I was laughing so hard as he was telling me all this. He doesn’t even realize that he didn’t die, and that he did end up learning how to swim. After my brother had his little major meltdown about my method of teaching him to swim, he started to realize that he really did swim. He came up and hugged me and told me how he was sorry for yelling at me, and he thanked me for teaching him how to swim. He also asked me where his money was. I laughed,” I will get it to you when we get home.” After his swimming lesson with the greatest aquatic teacher on the planet, my brother finally learned how to swim.
In conclusion, that summer ,one thousand laps later, my little brother could swim like a fish. Even though there were a few small disasters, I finally taught my little brother how to swim. I am so glad that I attempted the challenge and taught my little brother to swim. It was a summer that I will never forget.
