Oh, I'm sure they're not pointing and laughing.^^

After early trauma I never learned to swim properly but I enjoyed paddling about in the ocean as kid. As an adult, I never touch the stuff.

Sometimes I do catch them looking at me funny, esp when I go late and there's hardly anyone there. ^ ^

Did you or his dad teach the kid or send him to lessons or?

Briefly, one summer. Didn't take and there was some ear difficulty or something. Also, you know how cold the summers are here! I'm reasonably certain he can't swim.
