What skill have you learned as an adult?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Day three of swimming school hit differently. The excitement and adrenaline I’d ridden through my first two classes were fading, replaced with the sobering reality: learning to swim as an adult is hard.

Three classes in, and while my instructor Ella keeps telling me, “You are doing so well,” the fact I still can’t swim, or that my limbs refuse to follow instructions, was starting to erode my confidence.
