[They don't remain a float for long, which is what Guzma half expected. They are good, but still not experienced enough to keep afloat for longer than perhaps a half minute or so. It's better than most, by leaps and bounds, but they need to really practice to perfect it. But, with repetition, they improve even in the span of a few tries. Hopefully they maintain that, though Guzma will certainly dog them a bit to keep trying.
Eventually, maybe after another hour or so, give or take, Guzma splashes water over his face and nods.]
Doing pretty good, for a first run, kid. C'mon, let's get outta the water and dry up 'fore we get burnt up, yeah? [He doesn't burn as bad given his farmer's tan and the fact he lives in a tropical climate, but the kid is pale as heck, and the sun is reflected in the water...they'll burn easier. Plus, swimming is a full-body sport - they'll get tired, hungry, and thirsty easily.] Next time, we'll try treading water. That's another real good thing to know. Bring y'all's sibling, too...they gotta learn this stuff, too.
