Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

And could it be just "qu'elle nagait dans l'eau"?

"la façon de nager"

So it's more like the whale has the grace while swimming?

[loud birch]

"la façon de nager" describes the whale's way to swim
"grâcieuse" is an adjective qualifying this way
and "qu'elle avait" is a relative clause indicating it was the whale's way to swim

"avait" and "de nager" are not directly linked

la façon qu'elle avait de nager = la façon de nager qu'elle avait
