“Don’t let go of me! Don’t let go of me! I can’t do this!” I hysterically screamed from the top of my lungs at the shore of the Fort Spokane swimming bay. It was a beautiful, warm, bright summer day at my family’s favorite camping site. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sea of the heavens above inspired me. With determination, this was the day I was going to swim on my own. I wasn’t going to be the “baby” any longer and I thought there was nothing that would get in my way.
“Grandpa?”, I asked with fear in my voice. “Yeah?” “Do you think you could swim with me out to the dock? That way if I run into any trouble, you’ll be there to help me?” I asked with a pleading voice. “I thought you wanted to try on your own today? You were the one that said you were going to learn to get to the dock with no lifejacket,” My grandpa answered with disappointment in his voice, but swam with me anyways. I made it to the dock with my lifejacket and built enough courage to jump from the dock with my lifejacket. Next, It was time to succumb to my fear and swim back to shore. With great defeat and shame, I rolled on my back and let the lifejacket do it’s work. There was no way I could swim facing forward. Knowing how far away from shore I was, mounted my fear. Something didn’t seem right. It seemed as though my grandpa was way out of my reach. I began to get nervous and pleaded with my grandpa to hold onto me. With a wriggle of my life vest, I was assured he was holding on. I gazed at the beautiful, clear blue sky and counted each backstroke knowing I was getting that much closer to being safe on the beach.
Then, I screamed in terror when I thought I was drowning.“Don’t let go of me! Don’t let go of me! I can’t do this!” I looked up and noticed how close the shore was. I took a deep breath and started swimming forward to shore as fast as I could. Before I knew it, I was back on the shore and my grandmother was there. She wrapped her arms around me as she beamed with excitement!
Finally, I realized I had swam all the way back to the shore from the dock without my grandpa. I turned and saw him standing on the dock. He was cheering and had the biggest smile on his face. “I overcame my fear of drowning!” I yelled across the Fort Spokane swimming bay.
