learn how to swim

All I learned was how to float on my back and the “doggy paddle.” I am still too afraid to go into water deeper than 5 feet, but I’m praying that I can overcome that. I have had a few near-death-experiences with drowning, so I’m not very enthusiastic when I’m at the beach, or in a pool. However, I really want to learn how to swim and I’m determined to get over my fears! :)

swimming is just scary for me..I can’t float because I have to much body mass _’ i can’t wade either.

I was raised in San Diego and still don’t know how to swim. ): There is something wrong with that !

I learned this. Im not an expert but I can.

I took classes at the Y thinking I’ll learn, but all I ended up doing was getting over the fear of water & learning how to float. I guess that was step one :)

I live right by the water and I can’t swim! I never learned as a kid and I feel so dumb! Unfortunately I don’t see me learning until next summer or maybe taking swimming in college if they have it. :(

i want to so much!!!

Ok I have found a place to get swimming lessons for just 35 bucks for 9 consecutive days!!! If I want to I can repeat the session haha. I CAN DO IT. I know I have been a chicken before but I shall go with the flow and learn this useful survival skill yay for me. I am going to feel so weird being so old and not yet knowing how to swim I hope some of my classmates are older than 5:(

Lauren and I went to the gym together. She was watching me from the elliptical machine she was on and told me that I looked good swimming. Not like I was hot or anything, but she had said that it looked smooth and calm and like I knew exactly what I was doing.

Does this mean I know how to swim now?

to swim like a fish is one f my many to learn social skills i have to prioritize. to be able to learn so would definitely make me proud of myself. also, i like to learn to swim so that i can hang-out with my friends and not to make them worry that i might drown
