"In my experience, most swimming lessons are deliv- ered by charming young Australians, excellent swim- mers who have been at home in the water since they were young children. They regard those who flounder in the water with incomprehension. They say ‘watch me’ as they vanish towards the other end of the pool. But what bad swimmers need is to be taught to do the things good swimmers do naturally. Bad swimmers must overcome their fear of water and learn to balance and float. The skills of being good at something and being good at teaching others to do it are completely different."- article by Kay, John (2007) Financial Times, 28 Aug.
