The retired NBA star took to Instagram to celebrate the major accomplishment. Alongside two images of Jolinda Wade taking a lesson at a swim school, the 38-year-old ex-baller wrote:
“For as long as I can remember my mother has said she’s gonna learn how to swim one day. Well today was that day. At 65 years old and after 51 years of not going into pool water. My mother conquered her fear of swimming today. Watching her overcome this fear was so damn Inspiring. I am a proud son.”
Dwyane wasn’t the only one proud of Jolinda. His wife Gabrielle Union celebrated the moment as well, writing in the comments section of the post:
“New beginnings”
