Different kind of coordination? His mind might be trying to skate rather than swim? I don't know. Every weekend seems like a pool birthday party out here. I have done 8 since school let out.
I tried to teach a friend of mine to swim when we were at SAIT. Dude was crazy ripped, 5% body fat kind of guy. Sank like a rock the instant he touched the water. It was something to behold. I just get fat now so my belly will naturally bring me back up...
