> My mate has a young bloke. 3, actually, and a girl. But the middle boy, Troy, who is 13, nearly 14, is in a diagnosed state of ‘DEPRESSION’.
> Although he’s always seems’ to be a fun-loving kid, got heaps of mates, and girls that are “friends”, deep down he is hurting about something, and no-one knows what.
> My mate, the boys dad, asked me if I could help as I’ve always got on well with his kids.
> Apparently, it was Troy’s doctor that diagnosed him with “depression”.
> He suggested that instead of meditation, or yoga, or rubbing a buddas’ belly, it would be better for him to get into a swimming pool, fully clothed, and just relax, floating and casually swimming about, lazily, for an hour a day, at least.
> I quizzed the doctor as it sounded a little strange. He said it would be very therapeutic and described how the boys clothes rubbing over his body, arms and legs, in the water is actually very soothing, and would help him unwind and relax. That was only if a responsible person was with him.
> My mate, young Troy’s dad, suggested I be that responsible person.
> Troy is a good-looking, long-haired boy. He’s adventurous, and me and him have always got on well together.
> I picked him up from his house a couple of evenings ago after consulting with his dad and the local pool staff.
> The boy was constantly flicking his long hair off his face as we drove to the pool. He knew he was going for a swim and had dressed in long clothes for it, and trainers, and had brought a change of clothes with him.
> “I gotta wear these clothes I got on in the pool swimming, don’t I” smiled the boy at me flicking his hair off his face as we drove.
> “Yea” I smiled back at him. “You gotta stay in the water in your wet clothes for one hour. I’ll be in the water with you”.
> “Ok” smiled the boy.
> Troy was wearing half faded blue Levi jeans, a red long-sleeved t-shirt and an old long baggy black hooded jacket, half zipped up and trainers and sport socks.
> We parked and walked into the pool area. It was still quite warm and sunny. I introduced Troy to a couple of the pool staff I’d spoke to the day before and explained again why we were there and that Troy would be swimming in his clothes.
> “Sure” said the staff. “All good. Have fun, Troy” said one of them.
> Troy smiled at them flicking his long hair off his face.
> We walked around the pool to the deep end. I put Troy’s change of clothes on a bench and took off my trainers and t-shirt and we went to the edge of the pool.
> “Ready to get wet, Troy” ? I asked. “Anything in your pockets” ?
> The boy felt the pockets of his jeans and jacket and flicked his hair off his face and smiled. “I’m ready. My pockets are empty” said Troy.
> “Do you want to dive or jump in, or do you want me to push you in” ? I asked him.
> “You push me in. It’d feel weird diving in dressed like this” he said with a smile.
> I put my hand on the boys shoulder. He flicked his long hair off his face and smiled and took a deep breath.
> I pushed the boy from the edge and he splashed feet-first into the water fully clothed and went right under. He surfaced and trod water and flicked his long wet hair off his face. He swam back toward me and clambered half up out of the water and sat on the edge with his legs in feet in the water still from his knees down and hugged himself across his chest with his arms and said “Brrr. That’s not very warm”.
> I smiled at him and said “You’ll get used to it, Troy”, and bent down and lifted him by his elbows and dropped him back into the water. The boy was quite heavy in all his wet clothes.
> I jumped and trod water with him. Troy is a good swimmer.
> “How do you feel, Troy” ? I asked.
> The boy smiled. “Wet” he joked, treading water shoulder deep in his wet clothes and his long wet hair clinging to the sides of his smiling face.
