Floating can be joyful and necessary.

Swimming is more.

Learning how to swim you first learn how to float.

Floating peacefully in a pool, lake or ocean, floating can be enough. Drifting down a river, floating can be enough. Dropped in deep and distressed water, floating can be enough, more than enough, as it keeps you from sinking.

But floating is not swimming. Swimming can take you places that floating won’t.

Learn to float. Train to swim.
