Why I love my swimmers #789

Coach Joyce "Lil C you have to streamline on your back as SOON as you push off, not when you float up...You want to be like a..rrrrrocket!!"

Lil C "But Rockets have engines, I don't have engines"

Coach Joyce "That's why you have to use your feet and your fins! Those are your manual engines!"

Lil C "But Coach Joyce, rockets have THREE engines"

Coach Joyce "[insert pause] that's why we tell you to kick extra hard, you only get TWO."

I was schooled on rockets by a seven year old today...but, in the end, telling him to streamline like a rocket gave him the correct visual because he was flying through the water!
