How to learn to swim
It made me
swimmingly
 "Learn from other's lessons"
How I did it: When I was a kid living in L.A., I used to go to this near by public swimming pool in the summers. One day I noticed another kid taking swim lessons. So, like any smart kid would do, I started following the instructions. And, voila! I learned to swim. After the other kid's lessons where over, though, I kept on practicing. I experimened with learning to float on my back, and tried doing the back stroke. I was pretty good at it. Lessons & tips: I learned to tread water in high school though, since knowing how to swim is a graduation requirement. It was worth learning early on, because I didn't have a huge learning curve in high school. So while my kids are young, I'm going to try try to give them every advantage as I can give them. Swimming lessons is one of those advantages I will give them. Resources: Your parents, Swimming instructors, friends, and yourself. |

How I did it: My parents had wanted me to learn to swim when I was young. I loved water for starters, and that's probably what had encouraged my parents to give me swimming lessons. I know some of my friends that can't swim - and I can't imagine how much it would suck to not swim in the water confidently; to have fun without drowning. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Lessons, lessons, lessons. And practicing.As a child, I had my grandmother as a relentless teacher, then at age 11,12 I had a sports teacher who was really good at teaching to swim and at age 13 I took a special course for advanced swimmers at the local baths. I consider myself quite a decent swimmer today and have fun in swimming long distances. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took swimming lessons in third grade and failed. I decided it was high time I tried again! In the summer or 2008, I took adult swimming lessons at the Park District. I learned the front crawl, back crawl, butterfly, and breast stroke. We also learned proper breathing and if we wanted to, they also taught proper flip turns but I wasn't ready for that. The swimming lessons were at night, after public hours we… Read how I did it…
cincibohemian94 Typing this one a big crazy computer in TimeWarner store! I am cool :)
How I did it: I can't really explain how. My dad had me in swim classes since I was a baby. Since then I've joined every class and team I can. And while I don't swim competitivly anymore, my family still agrees I was born part fish :) Read how I did it…
iamnothannah is discovering that 43 things are not nearly enough!!
How I did it: umm i took classes :)i thaught it'd be a lot easier than it was, but now i feel great because i actually got there =Di found it really great to have some time set aside every week where no-one knows you, and you are forced to think about something other than what's going on in everyday life. it's really theraputic!!

INeedAHero in England is so ill!
I’ve always wanted to swim but have been bloody scared of water since an incedent as a kid!
I’ve called the local leisure centre and found out details, price etc so once I’m earning I’ll start taking a weekly class and hopefully will learn.

I just registered to take a novice swimming class in my school. It’s summer and the best time to do it. Also its in the weekends, so very cool. I’m looking forward to learning this and finally get over my disappointment of not being able to swim.
Wish me luck
:)I’m deathly afraid of bodies of water deeper than how tall I am, and I want to learn to swim and overcome my fear.

Last night was sooo much fun! My friend Kelsey and Sam pushed me hard to learn how to swim. I can say that Kelsey is a great teacher! For the first time i swam a lap and it was so exhilarating!! I’m not quite fully comfortable yet, I still need a few more lessons but i am definitely not giving up! SO MUCH FUN!! After I learn.. Im taking scuba lessons!!
ChihiroHaruka is spiritual self-knowing self-improver?
I grew up in the sticks, far from beaches or even a pool. I live in a city now. A few years ago, I took lessons but pretty much flunked. I learned how to float on my back for a few seconds and that grabbing my knees will bring my feet back under me, but mostly I sank and inhaled the water.
I’m going to give it another go this fall – this time at the YMCA, because there’s supposed to be a fear of water component to the class. Feel the fear and do it anyway, baby.
I have no grand ambitions of grace or athleticism here – I just want to take more boat rides and not be a major burden (or dead) if I fall in the water. Treading water or swimming like a dork beats sinking like a stone, every time.
Delphi really doesn't need another status message to set.
It’s too hot here, need to do this. Almost drowned trying to teach myself, so that’s out. Going to the YMCA in just a little while to check out what they offer.
irieman is taking it one day at a time.
Perhaps a bit misleading, while know how to swim, that is, what you’re supposed to do, I’m just very bad at it. Extremely bad. To the point where I don’t consider myself as knowing how to swim. To put it another way, I would likely die in a swimming pool before treading water for 3 minutes.
I’ve never had a need or reason to know how to swim so this never bothered me. Until a week ago when I decided I would like to doa triathlon before I die. Which means, yeah, I should learn to swim first.
sweet vv is ready to change her world
cause i’m not sure if i’ll keep my job and everything. but positive (or negative) thinking is everything. if i keep thinking negative i could produce less and that would make me get fired. anyway, i’m trying to be less insecure and buy the 6 months swimming package.
