My instructor had us go to the deep end a few weeks ago. We had to walk along the wall until we ran out of floor & basically the deeper it got, the more we ended up hanging onto the wall! We actually jumped in the deep end using the Red Cross lifeguard floaty thing. It was fun believe it or not. You can do it!!!
