The Swimmer


Victoria mastered the snorkle in a mere few minutes and spent the summer down below. I don't know how she did it. I have never been able to breathe through a snorkle. I always felt like I couldn't get enough air or for fear that a sibling was going to pour water down the tube. Not sure which. But Victoria would putter around the pool with ease never having to come up for air.

That is very brave of Victoria. I am not fond of using the snorkel myself, at least in the ocean. I used one on Luguna Beach and when the seaweed started touching me and Troy told me to come see the stingray (that was just after that famous animal guy was killed by one in the heart) I panicked and started hyperventilating through the snorkel. I kept telling myself to stay calm and breath slowly. I have had only 2 panic attacks and I don't like them.
