Linda had never been on a boat. Never been in open water. This day, she got both and we caught the whole thing on camera.
We started slow, letting her swim short distances to shore just to build her confidence. The moment she stopped "panic paddling" and just relaxed into it, we knew she had it...and by the end she was swimming out to us completely on her own.
She came home rescued, loved, and absolutely exhausted. Honestly, this is why we do it.
