These ones are anti-fog.
19
What about a swim cap?

Good idea.
21
It keeps hair dry.
22

Yes, more comfortable than latex.
24
I also need a towel.

This microfiber one dries very fast.

39
Swimsuit, goggles, and a towel.
40
We have everything.
41
Great.
42

She is excellent.
45
That is good to hear.
46
Lockers are on the left.
47
Do we need coins?
48
No, they're free.
49
Enjoy your class.
50
Thank you.
51
The water is so cold.
52
You will get used to it quickly.
53
Is it only three feet deep?
54
Yes, you can stand up anytime.
55
That makes me feel better.
56
Step 1.
57
Learn to float. On my back?
58
Yes, lean back slowly.
59
I'm scared I will sink.
60
I will hold you back.
61
Trust me.
62
Okay, Like this?
63
Relax your body.
64
Look at the ceiling.
65
I'm floating!
66
I'm floating!
67
See?
68
The water holds you.
69
This feels amazing!
70
Now try on your stomach.
71
Face in the water?
72
Hold your breath first. For how long?
73
Just five seconds to start.
74
Okay.
75
You did it.
76
Great job.
77
That was not so bad.
78
You are ready for kicking.
79
Hold the kickboard in front of you.
80
Like this?
81
Yes.
82
Arms strike.
83
Now I kick?
84
Small, fast kicks from the hip.
85
Not from the knee?
86
No, straight legs, pointed toes.
87
This is tiring. But you are moving.
88
I am so slow, though.
89
Speed comes with practice.
90
My legs are already sore.
91
That is normal for beginners.
92
How far should I go?
93
To the wall and back.
94
The wall looks so far away.
95
It is only 25 yards.
96
Feels like a mile.
97
You are doing great, Tom.
98
I made it to the wall.
99
Now turn around and come back.
100
My legs are like jelly.
101
That means you worked hard.
102
I am so hungry after that.
103
Swimming burns a lot of calories.
104
What do they have here?
105
Protein bars and smoothies.
106
A banana smoothie sounds perfect.
107
I will get a chocolate protein bar.
108
Can you believe we floated?
109
I could not believe it.
110
I was so scared at first.
111
Me too, but Coach Julie was great.
112
She made it feel safe.
113
My legs are still shaking.
114
The kickboard was hard.
115
25 yards felt like forever. But we did it.
116
When is the next class?
117
Nook Saturday, same time.
118
I want to learn actual swimming.
119
The freestyle stroke?
120
Yes, arms and everything.
121
One step at a time.
122
You're right, float first.
123
I practiced floating all week. In the bathtub?
124
In my mind.
125
Today we add arm strokes.
126
The freestyle stroke?
127
Yes, one arm at a time.
128
Show me, please.
129
Reach forward, pull back, like a circle.
130
And I breathe when?
131
Turn your head to the side. While swimming?
132
Yes, quick breath, then face down. That sounds hard.
133
Let's try with the kickboard first.
134
Okay, one arm at a time.
135
Reach, pull, breathe, reach, pull.
136
I swallowed water.
137
Everyone does that.
138
Try again.
139
This time I did it!
140
You just swam five yards.
141
Really?
142
Five whole yards?
143
Yes, you were swimming, Sarah.
144
Ready to try without the kickboard?
145
No board?
146
Just me and the water?
147
You can do it.
148
I believe in you.
149
Okay, here I go.
150
Arms forward, kick your feet.
151
Am I swimming?
152
Yes, keep going.
153
I am swimming, without help.
154
Ten yards, incredible.
155
I did it, I really did it.
156
How do you feel?
157
Like a fish, a very slow fish.
158
A very handsome fish?
159
Sarah will not believe this.
160
She is watching from the other nine.
161
Hi, Sarah.
162
I swam 10 yards.
163
She is clapping for you.
164
Best feeling ever.
165
Practice every week.
166
You will improve.
167
I want to swim the whole pool.
168
By next month, you will.
169
I cannot wait.
170
Hi.
171
Do you sell swim passes?
172
Yes, monthly or yearly.
173
How much is monthly?
174
$35, unlimited pool time. And yearly?
175
$300, big savings.
176
We will start with monthly.
177
Two passes?
178
Yes, for me and my husband.
179
Do you need anything else? Do you have earplugs?
180
Yes, silicone ones are waterproof.
181
I will take two pairs.
182
Do you want a mesh swim bag?
183
What is that for?
184
To carry your wet swimsuit and towel. That is so practical.
185
$9.
186
Very popular.
187
I will take it.
188
Your total is $85.
189
Here is my card.
190
Worth it.
191
Enjoy your swimming.
192
But I loved every minute.
193
You know what this means?
194
What?
195
Next summer, we can go to the ocean.
196
Really swim in the ocean?
197
Yes, not just walk on the beach.
198
That would be a dream.
199
Let's make it happen.
200
We went from scared to swimming.
201
Anything is possible.
202
I love learning new things with you.
203
Me too.
204
Next stop, the ocean.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
