Hold It

Hold it in

Hold it in

Just a little longer.

You can do it

I know you can.

Just try a little harder.

Shut your mouth

And close your eyes.

Ignore all the distractions.

Move your arms

And your legs.

Focus on the motions.

It really is quite easy

Once you learn the way.

I know you feel

Like a shaken bottle,

But that will go away.

It’s not that bad

I promise.

Just another minute left.

Keep it up, try again

Soon you’ll be the best.

I’ll teach you how to play the game,

Soon you’ll play to win.

Right now let’s just focus on

Teaching you to swim.
