Hello, my name is Makoto Tachibana.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm offering swim lessons at the recreation center. With the coming summer, it'll get warmer and it would be good to know how to swim if you don't already. I normally teach kids, but teaching teens or adults isn't off the table, of course!

I have all the equipment as well, although it would be best if you at least got yourself a pair of goggles, probably a swim cap if you have long hair. Payment won't be an issue either, just a handshake or something will do!

I'm generally available Tuesday and Thursdays, weekends are open after noon. I have another job, so those are the times I'm not working. Just let me know the best time for you and we can schedule it out.

Thank you for your time, have a good day everyone! :)

I know the basics of swimming but I can't say I'm terribly good at it. Would the lessons be beneficial to me at all?

[babygotbackstroke]

Yeah, I think so! It depends on what you would like to do. Swimming is good for exercise by itself, so I can provide tips on routines and also help improve your strokes if you need.

That's what I was thinking. I've generally been going for runs on the beach with Tadashi, but that's really only one part of my body that I'm giving most attention to. I'm not much for lifting weights so I was looking for alternatives and swimming seemed like a good choice.

You likely won't gain too much muscle mass just by swimming alone, but we can definitely work on your whole body with different routines.

[ It would still be a workout, he would still keep his muscles fit and strong, but weight training is where gaining muscle mass really was. Makoto was a big guy, but he didn't do too much weight training compared to others who were more serious about their swimming. Sousuke came to mind, he was a couple inches taller but had definitely been working out outside of swimming and it showed in his body. ]

[Thankfully Stormflower is designed to not have the sort of kick a gun like Crescent Rose would have, so upper arm strength isn't his main focus. Generally keeping himself fit and not getting bored with just running on the beach and nothing else is.]

I would appreciate that. Thank you.
