Spanish texts....

Oh dear,

I have just got to a passage in my book where Jacqueline is now reading a text:

La mnitora d natacn st buensma. envio foto xa alegraros 1 dia. s m sta resistiendo. como caigo haedm la ola!!

It's hard enough for us old folk to read txt spk in our own language, and it is hard enough for me to translate normal spanish, but this may be a bridge too far for me to translate! Does anyone else have a clue? (I will continue to try on my own at this end too).

Your book is getting more and more interesting :) I wish I could help with that but I suspect I know a lot less than you to start with :) - Manity, Sep 10, 2013

Wow, i am a spanish native and that's not exactly understandable even for me ._.u but i'll try my best:

La monitora de natación está buenísima. Envió foto para alegraros 1 día. Se me está resistiendo. como caigo haciédome la bola!! I'm not very sure at the last sentence, but if it's well fixed, that's a phrase used in Argentina xD and means that he is trying hard to be her boyfriend, or something like that...

I don´t know text nor do I want to learn it, so I leave this abomination for stupid teenagers. However, La monítora de natación está buenísima more accurately translates to The swimming coach is well built / hot. There is a big difference in meaning when we use estar rather than ser when discribing people

Well - I've tried my best, but I know I have some bits wrong and in Spanish I reckon it says something like:

La monítora de natación est buenisima. Envio foto para alegraros uno día. s m esta resistiendo, como caiga hacedome la ola!!!

The swimming coach is excellent. I'm sending you her photo to brighten up your day. S M is resisting as the wave falls over me.

I don't really know what the ' hacdm' means, or the s and m and I am sure there are other mistakes in there.... :-( Too hard for me!
