Swim Lessons

Twilight was at the center the next day as she was waiting patiently for Rainbow Dash to arrive at the center to continue the lessons with her, she was so happy that she was going great even if it was taking her awhile even if she knew that was going to happen, while she waited she looked at the pool, she wondered what she was going to learn from her best friend today.

She thought that her friend was a wonderful teacher, She knew that Rainbow Dash was pretty good at it, she wondered how she got her training as a teacher, she was grateful that Rainbow Dash has lots of patience for the lessons as she never gets upset if Twilight did something wrong which Twilight appreciated.

As she sat there her friend walked up to her quietly, she watched it for a few more seconds but then got startled when she turned to see Rainbow Dash who was already in her bathing suit. Rainbow Dash chuckled at Twilight's reaction as she sat by her. Twilight knew that Rainbow Dash didn't mean to scare her though so she wasn't mad in fact she found it funny herself.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was here I just thought you would notice me so I'm sorry for scaring you. Anyway today we are going to learn how to swim underwater. So get into your bathing suit and come back here so we can begin the next lesson for today, okay?" Rainbow Dash said, Twilight nodded as she looked at the locker room. She went to the locker room and got into her bathing suit and then she came back to Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash entered the deep end first and then Twilight got in after her without hesitation as she wasn't nervous about swimming anymore. She was eager to learn and that made Rainbow Dash happy as she was glad that Twilight was enjoying the lessons that she was teaching her. Twilight held onto the edge as Rainbow Dash swam over to her. Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash so she can pay attention.

"Okay Twilight I hope you brought your prescribed goggles because we are going to practice swimming techniques under water so your going to need your goggles as you are going to want to see underwater. I don't have much more to teach you so we can practice what you've learned under water, is that okay?" Rainbow Dash asked Twilight nodded with a smile as she knew what Rainbow Dash wanted to do.

Rainbow Dash showed Twilight how to do each swimming technique under water and Twilight tried to follow her example as she tried each technique. Twilight had to make sure she took good breaths of air so she had enough to do all of this underwater but she made sure not to stay under to long or she would pass out from lack of oxygen. But she knew that if she did pass out Rainbow Dash would dive under water and save her from drowning so she didn't have to worry about that.

This was the toughest lesson that Twilight felt that she had to face by far during Rainbow Dash's lessons as she had never swam under water until now, she kept going up for air after each technique but Rainbow Dash didn't mind if she did that as she understood that Humans could only hold their breath for so long until they would have to breath again.

Rainbow Dash and Twilight spent minutes at a time on each technique as she didn't want to miss anything but she made sure to not go to fast as Twilight was still learning although Twilight never complained about anything she learned which Rainbow Dash liked as that made her know that she was doing a good job in teaching Twilight how to swim.

They repeated the techniques a few times as well so that Twilight could get a hang of every technique that she learned from Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash explained everything so that Twilight didn't miss one detail, she was so grateful that Rainbow Dash taught her everyday so she wanted to thank her for all of the stuff she has done even if they haven't finished the lessons yet. Soon they stopped to take a break so that they could regain some of their energy to do the rest of the lesson

"Rainbow Dash I want to thank you for teaching me how to swim, I'm very grateful you had the time to spend teaching me all of this stuff about swimming, I've been the most comfortable learning from you so I just wanted to say thanks. I'm going to swim whenever I can now." Twilight said as they held onto the side of the pool. Rainbow Dash hugged Twilight.

"Your welcome Twilight I'm glad you appreciate me teaching you how to swim, that really means a lot to me. Now come on let's do a few more lessons and then we can stop for today." Rainbow Dash said, Twilight grinned and nodded and then Rainbow Dash went over diving techniques again which Twilight wasn't scared of anymore.

Soon they were both done and they both dried off and got dressed, they then left together, on the way home Twilight talked about swimming and how she started to love it so much, Rainbow Dash offered to buy her a pool and Twilight loved that idea so they agreed to buy Twilight a pool later on.

They also decided to swim at the center just for fun on some days when they had time and when they weren't having lessons which Rainbow Dash and Twilight thought would be fun, soon Twilight said that she would see her tomorrow and then she went inside her place as she was so happy, Rainbow Dash left with a grin as she was having fun teaching Twilight how to swim. She was happy that Twilight was happy about the lessons.
