RE: My love in swimming

in Hive Learners3 years ago

Your grandfather had no choice than to face his fears. I am scared to my teeth to try IT. I know of a place in Nigeria called Bayelsa. They have a tradition of dipping their new born into the river. They believe that it will take away the fear of water from the child.
Thank you for sharing your story too

Unfortunately I never met him, so could not ask him if he really was scared. My relatives have said I inherited his love of adventure so who knows.
Bayelsa sounds an interesting place. It is amazing what people will do for traditions🏊
