Boston Celtics center Tacko Fall is continuing his swimming lessons inside the NBA bubble with some help from his teammates.

Enes Kanter tweeted a video Monday showing him and Jaylen Brown holding up Fall while he practiced his strokes.

Fall, who never learned how to swim as a kid growing up in Senegal, took his first-ever swimming lesson last September at the Charlestown Boys & Girls Club.

"I don't want to say I was a homebody, but my mom wouldn't let me go out a lot," Fall said at the time. "I used to go to school and go back home, but I never really got to enjoy the beaches as much."

The Celtics will face the Toronto Raptors in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Tuesday. Boston leads the series 1-0.
