learn to swim properly

I can do the breaststroke now!!! I’m so excited, lol. Otherwise I’m not too good, and I don’t even know if I’m doing the breaststroke exactly right. But I did two laps today and I didn’t drown! yay! Good luck to everybody else working on this goal too, before long we will all be fish I’m sure.

I seem to be able to stay afloat for a few strokes and then sink like a stone. I would love to be able to swim with dolphins one day, but knowing that the sea bed is out of toe-touching depth would completely freak me out.

I have always been afraid of water, something of which I am ashamed, and I hope it would take away that fear.

and swimming lessons are great fun!

Like most people, I was under the impression that I knew how to swim. Thanks to being in the Navy, taking a lifeguarding course and advance swiming classes, I learned better form and proper technique. Swiming right makes all the difference. Helping others overcome their fears and become swimmers has given me much satisfaction over the years.

I can swim, but have poor stamina and technique, I’d like to take lessons and learn how to do it properly then swim for a long time.

when i was a kid! Great thing to know!

I just need to be able to breathe out under the water instead of swimming with my head out all the time!!

I’m fairly strong physically but for some reason my legs get tired in the water and I can’t stay afloat for too long. Treading water is my main thing…if I could master that, it would take me a long way. I’m considering an adult learn to swim class…..I’m hoping I’ve just got my technique wrong and someone can straigten it out.

I’ve lived on islands most of my life… I thought being on the sand was more fun than being in the water most of the time, so I never learned how to swim properly. I didn’t see the use, but now I think that it might actually come in handy, especially since my senior trip in May will be at a Florida beach house.
