Learning to swim, 2020

My grandmother once swam so far out to the sea that we took her for dead. A few hours later she appeared in a small boat, accompanied by two fishermen: "we found this lady lost some islands away". My grandmother once swam so far that she crossed islands. At the age of three, my father taught me how to swim. My grandmother then taught me to float and take some longer strokes.
