How to learn to swim
It made me
Very happy! 
"Learning to be comfortable in the water has made me a more complete person. "
How I did it: I took a class at college that was called "Survival Swimming", namely because the college requires you to pass a swim test before you graduate. I never grew up around any body of water large enough to swim in, so I never learned. I felt kind of foolish for taking the class, but I learned to swim and now I feel amazing in the water.
Lessons & tips: The water will support you, you just have to trust it. Also, trust those who set aside time to teach you - they won't let you drown.
Resources: A college course. :)
