I am aware of math literacy, even fnancial literacy, but Aquafit Literacy is new to me. I started going a couple of weeks ago, but it became imparative after falling down the stairs the other day. My stiff body actually longed to get into some deep water and move without hurting. I can’t believe, however, how much I feel like an ELL student. “Bulldog”, my instructor calls. I tread water and stare. “Skiing”, she calls next. I continue to tread. (At least I’m moving!) “Dog paddle”, her voice booms across the water. “I know this one!” I exclaim and frantically paddle against the current. She is patient, my instructor. I give her that. Tonight she even called me “honey” when she noticed I couldn’t do the arms for the ‘Dolphin’. Funny thing, I responed like any kid wanting postive attention and tried even harder. I think it may take a few more weeks for me to get the lingo down, but as long as I am enjoying it, feel I am getting something out of it and like my instructor, I have all the components of good literacy learning. Who knows, maybe in a few months I’ll feel so fit and confident, I’ll try something else… Tae Kwon Do maybe?
