Take an Adult Swim class

but there’s no ‘give up’ option anymore?

I won’t be able to do this for a while now because I’m working evenings/weekends and there are no day time classes. I might take private lessons at some point but it’s not a high priority right now.

Over the past two weeks I learned how to tread water and I became better at breathing in freestyle. I am looking forward to the next class that will focus on stroke development.

I am still having trouble breathing in freestyle. I think I should just practice more and then I should get it under control.

I am now 40% done with this swimming class. I still cannot breath and do the freestyle at the same time. However, I can do the breastroke and backstroke with no problem.

I have finished the first week and I am 20% through the complete session. So, far I have not learned too much just rotary breathing and basic freestyle. I am really excited to be learning how to swim.

Class starts on June 22nd. I am so pumped and scared.

My 3 yr old loves her swimming classes. My husband pushed me to take Swim lessons. Except getting into water with my daughter for her toddler class and wading in the pool, I’ve no previous experience. I’ll be 33 (on May 18th)! I started my lessons, felt absolutely Pathetic – my sinking feet and all. But today in my 3rd class, I learned kicking. And I think I can do it…

It was a long way from choosing a swim suit which covers my things and waist and arms pits etc to actually travelling a yard in the pool. I hope I can swim by july and get in shape for the summer.

I will be 37 years old and I can’t swim. I did take a class and learned how to float and swim across the length of a pool. – that was nearly 10 years ago and I have not been back in a pool (except just dipping). I am sick of the embarrassment and now that I have a 2 year old daughter who is enthusiastic to swim I am determined to learn again. I don’t won’t her to be embarrassed of her daddy.
I called to make an appointment today and am awaiting a call from the instructor. This will be a gift to my wife and daughter this year – that’s my motivation.

My husband and children can swim, but I can’t. I have taken 3 swimming classes over the past 9 years, but have never completed one. I am extremely afraid of water, so much that I can’t even put my face under the shower head when taking a bath.

I just signed up for PRIVATE lessons, because my New Year’s Resolution is to conquer this fear and finally swim. We live in Florida and there is sooo much I am missing out on with my family because of my fear.

Wish me success. Will update when I’m a swimmer.

I will do this in March or April 2009. I’m so excited!
