Hamiltion Water Palace is where I do my swimming lessons. They do not put you in  to levels , there are special names. Rookie means learning how to be a lifeguard. So far I know how to do the two proper strokes and I am finding it easy. I really enjoy swimming. Some things I know how to do are called the rope, brick, pole, pulling them to the side, how to carry them on your back, how to talk to them , how to put them in to safety position. Being a Rookie is a lot of work but I think it is a good learning experience.
