Practice for midterm assessment and timing swim with Helan

I forgot to bring my diary today, and will print it out and bring to instructor tomorrow. I wonder how she can see the links I put in the diary. It could be a good idea to send her the URL of my blog.
We are going to have midterm assessment tomorrow. Helen, a girl from Taiwan, practice with me item by item. Later, she told me she was trying to get life guard certificate and need to swim 500 yard within 10 min. Because I timed my swim many times and had sense of how fast it mean for a 100 yard in 2 minutes. I told her it will be hard for her. But she still wants to do it. She is really a girl with determination. I lent her my watch and she starts swimming in breaststroke. I followed her but just swim casually. She finished with 13'12". It is not bad, but still have a long way to go to get into 10 minutes. I told her I will practice with her. 10 minutes 500 yards is also very very hard to me too. But it will be fun to train with somebody. I am look forwards to meet her tomorrow.
