I dragged myself out of bed on Sunday morning to accompany friends with their toddler for his weekly swimming lesson. He was in a group with 4 other kids, ranging in age from a year to 18 months. I’d never seen such young children learning to swim before. They were amazing, all floating on their backs, jumping off mats into the water. There was no fear, just joy at the thrill of taking a risk. It was inspiring.
