Chapter 135: Learn to Swim
"Sister...... Seeing this, Xiaoxi hurriedly walked over to Riley, trying to pull her up.
"No!" Carter had already understood Riley's intentions, she wanted to have an intimate contact with the sea, and buried her head in the water to fully accept the embrace of the sea, so he motioned to the stream to leave her alone.
Everyone quietly looked at Riley, who was spitting blisters with her eyes closed in the water, her face looking a little nervous, but determined. Yes, in order to overcome her fear of water, Riley is communicating with the water, adjusting to the kiss that the water has on her.
"Wow!" Riley held on for less than 10 seconds and stood up sharply, her eyes closed and her mouth open, greedily breathing in air.
Seeing Riley with her hair scattered, she spread her hands and looked helpless looking for support. Carter hurriedly walked over and took her in his arms, and wiped the water from her face with a large hand.
"Well done! Baby. Carter comforted her.
Riley was completely unconscious of wiping the water from her face with her hands, and after being lured by Carter, she repeatedly wiped the water droplets from her eyes, and finally slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that Xiaoxi and Yang Bin were looking at her, a sincere smile of joy appeared on her face.
"Sister is awesome!" It was only then that Brook realized that Riley's fear of water was completely unexpected, and her move just now seemed to be a great deal of determination, all because her unintentional joke had stimulated Riley. It wasn't until this moment that Brook realized that Riley in the water was like an infant baby, and that she needed her own pampering.
Riley smiled at the creek, looked up at Carter, and finally smiled mischievously. Carter had been worried that she would choke on water, but thankfully his worries didn't happen.
"You always have to remember that you should never open your mouth in the water and avoid drinking or even choking, which can lead to unexpected dangers." Carter stressed to Riley, "Let Creek teach you, apparently her way made you take the first step." ”
Carter looked at the brook and cast a look of anticipation and gratitude at her.
"Sister, I'll teach you!" Xiaoxi approached Riley, the two of them were almost the same height and similar figures, but in terms of personality, Xiaoxi was obviously more cheerful and playful, which was also very consistent with her identity as a younger sister.
Riley looked at Xiaoxi with a somewhat complicated expression, and suddenly said, "You won't have any more pranks, I'm really going to be angry."
"Don't worry, I swear I won't. I've decided that I'm going to teach you how to swim today. Xiaoxi swore by it.
Carter squinted his eyes and squinted at Creek and joked, "I'm skeptical of what you're saying. ”
Carter had tried to teach Riley how to swim before, but he had never been able to make Riley completely let go of her physical and mental baggage and learn happily, so he didn't think that Xiaoxi had the ability to let Riley learn it all at once.
Yang Bin also walked over and smiled and said, "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of big thing, Xiaoxi." Yang Bin also felt that Riley was too unfamiliar with water, and it was not easy for her to learn it in one day.
Xiaoxi looked at Carter and Yang Bin with disdain, turned around and comforted Riley and said, "Sister, don't pay attention to them, you just need to believe in me and believe in yourself." After saying that, Xiaoxi turned to the two gentlemen very dissatisfiedly and said, "Hey, gentlemen, I think you can go diving, touch some pearls and come back to subsidize the family, or catch a shark and come back, this is your ability, not to doubt me here." ”
Carter smiled and waved his hand without speaking, he turned his head to look at Yang Bin and said, "Hey, buddy, we can't let her underestimate it, can we?" Walk! As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the shore.
Yang Bin didn't react for a while, he followed and asked, "Where are we going......
On the bustling beach, people are enjoying this rare comfort. This clean beach has no wind and waves, calm and cozy, there is just the laughter and slapstick of people. Xiaoxi was holding Riley's stomach with both hands to make sure Riley lay in the water and not sink, and then asked Riley to paddle repeatedly with her hands and legs.
"Sister, you have to try to paddle forward, using your hands and feet to keep paddling to generate a continuous forward momentum."
The brook held Riley's belly, and it felt like she was just gently playing with water, where she was learning to swim, definitely a baby playing happily in the water.
Riley looked up and smiled at Creek and said, "Am I not learning?" It turns out that the water is so fun. ”
Riley was held up by the stream, she was now full of security, and for the first time she felt the pleasure of being in the water, her white little hands and legs paddling gently in the water, kicking and making a splash from time to time, like a baby playing.
Xiaoxi was a little annoyed when she looked at Riley's happy appearance, she didn't realize what she needed to practice, so she slapped Riley's ass floating on the water, and said seriously: "Listen, I don't want them to laugh at me, I have to teach you, and you are completely playing in the water." ”
Xiaoxi said while helping Riley up, Riley was a little aggrieved, at this time the two looked at each other, Xiaoxi looked at Riley's innocent expression and immediately softened again, she completely because of her own guidance just now, she eliminated her scruples about the seawater, and accepted the embrace of the seawater from her heart, and she seemed to be too strict.
"I'm sorry, sister." Brook's hippie smile took Riley's hand, "Actually, I just wanted to try to familiarize you with the coordinated movements and rhythm of your hands and feet when swimming......"
Before Brook could finish speaking, a little boy swam in front of him with a rhythmic splash of his legs, and Brook and Riley had to stop talking and watch him swim past. The little boy swam very slowly, and looked at the brook and Riley with a mischievous smile, and his feet deliberately hit the water hard and splashed high, and he seemed proud to see his two sisters avoiding him because of this.
Of course, Xiaoxi didn't bother with him, and continued to say to Riley Nunu, "Oh, look at him, this is the rhythm, and if you master the rhythm, then you can swim." ”
Riley watched the little boy swim past with envy on her face, and nodded frequently after listening to the stream's words, hoping that she would actually learn to swim.
"So, I'm trying to get you to practice the rhythm of your hands and feet in the water, not ......"
Xiaoxi saw that Riley had been looking at the little boy obsessively, and didn't listen to her own speech, so she held Riley's face with both hands and twisted it, glared at her angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Hey, let's help you practice the rhythm next, understand!" ”
"Hey! Good! Riley knew she was distracted, and she longed for her to learn how to swim as soon as possible, and secretly decided that she must study seriously.
"Well, I'll say it again, I'm holding you afloat on the water for you to practice paddling, and I think it's a very effective way to do it." Brook said as she put Riley back on her stomach in the water, holding Riley's belly with both hands to keep her from sinking.
"It's a repetitive movement and posture that simulates swimming, and your purpose is not to play with the water, but to get acquainted with the rhythm and feeling of swimming, you know?"
Riley looked back at the creek and nodded, "Hmm." ”
"If you're familiar with the rhythm, let's try to get you to swim forward, and the next one is ......," the brook didn't finish when the little boy turned back.
"Poof...... Puff ...... "The little boy deliberately swam past Riley again with a splash, and Riley hurriedly stood up to avoid the splash he made.
Xiaoxi saw that it was the little fellow again, so she had to get out of the way and salute him, and seeing the little boy's smug face at this time, she stuck out her tongue at him angrily to show that she did not appreciate his approach.
"Alright...... "After the little boy swam over, the creek allowed Riley to resume her practice, "where did I just go?" Brook held Riley and muttered to herself.
Riley looked at her and reminded, "You said the next step was to try to get me to swim forward." ”
Xiaoxi shook his head like a child and suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, once you have mastered the movement and rhythm of swimming forward, the next step is to try how to float yourself on the water, you know that in order to float yourself, you must keep paddling with your hands and feet in a rhythmic manner to ensure that you do not sink." Once you have a feel for these two points, you are only one step away from learning to swim. ”
Riley listened to the creek's teachings and thought about it carefully, she had no idea at all, because she hadn't felt what it was like to not let herself sink, so she stopped. Xiaoxi reminded her: "Hurry up and paddle, this will allow you to constantly experience the force between water and your body, and increase your understanding and cognition of water." ”
"I feel like you can push a little harder, so that you can create a force that is strong enough." Xiaoxi looks at the basic standard of Riley's movements, and the rhythm is also there, the only thing missing is the amplitude and strength of a movement.
Riley listened to the increased intensity, and the stroke of her hands unconsciously increased. Xiaoxi watched Riley's movements get better and better, so she didn't move and secretly let go of the hands that were held under her. Riley moved forward a little with the movement of her hands and feet, and then her body began to sink slowly, only to realize that the brook had let go of her hand.
Riley quickly accelerated the speed of her hands paddling, trying to float herself, but she could not take care of her head but not her tail, her legs stopped completely, and finally she only struggled for two or three seconds, and her whole body sank. Riley, who had no experience, opened her mouth in panic to scream, but instead drank a large sip of water and sank her whole head into the water.
Fortunately, Riley's feet finally hit the sand at the bottom of the sea, and she quickly stood up, wiped the water from her face with her hands in a panic, and did not realize what had happened to her for a while. Xiaoxi looked at Riley heartbrokenly and walked to her side to comfort her: "I'm sorry, sister, I just wanted you to feel the real swimming, you just held on for almost 5 seconds and didn't let yourself sink." This feeling has to be embodied in you in this way to lead you to take the first step, you should feel it, right? That's what it feels like to swim, with your hands and feet trying to keep yourself from sinking. ”
