I still can't swim because I'm afraid 3 weeks ago

I don’t know how to swim. I knew how to swim when I was young. Someone threw me into a pool and I drank alot of water. I’m afraid. I don’t like the smell of clorine. I don’t have a pool. I need to stop making excuses. There is a public pool.

Learn to swim 3 weeks ago

I can swim, but only under water, which my physical education teacher called it drowning. No, but I really can swim under water I just can’t float above the water and even with a floater I still can’t swim much on top.



My swimming story 4 weeks ago

I have always wanted to swim properly. I did learn as a child however never kept it up and once into adolescence and adulthood, I did my best to stay away from pools and the beach. A recent trip to Hawaii saw me very nervously put my toe into the water, then the rest of me. I loved the sensation of being in the water even though I could only float around.

Swim Club Membership: current 4 weeks ago

My work bought me a pass to a swim club that I’ll have until late spring. My swimming ability currently is that when I don’t panic I can usually float on my back. I can also swim well enough to get back to the side of the pool from the low diving board. I need to make time to get to the swim club these next few months.

Edmonton Water Park 1 month ago

So I use to be really terrified of going into wave pools since my last attempt when I was 12 and nearly drowned. This time I had the help of my boyfriend. He helped me to tackle the waves by letting go of my fear and jumping into them. As scary as this was, he guided me into the waves by lifting me up when the waves came. By the end of the day I was jumping into the waves by myself. It was great. I had a lot of fun and I’m more willing to face my fears with water and begin to learn to swim well.
