My parents never made me take lessons when I was really young, like most parents do. (around ages of 4 or 5 they start). Well; I didn't start to take lessons till I was 12. =/
I was in a class with a bunch of little kids and believe me I sucked. It was so hard, I took lessons for two years and well I didn't pass the one grade. So, I can float a little and do the breast stroke but not well. Worse part, I can;t tread deep water at all, i'll stink, can't do freestyle, side swim, back swim, whatever can't.
Problem is, I;m going to be a freshman next year and I'm taking summer gym because we have to swim. I'm afraid of embarassing myself since I cant swim and with all the other people who can I'm gonna humiliate myself. it's madatory to swim. =[ I'm scared.

Every summer I get really bad ear infections, I keep them because I swim all summer long. I tried using ear plugs while swimming but water still get into my ears and cause them to hurt. I don't know what type of ear infections they are my doctor just says that it's an ear infection. And I'm looking for a way to reduce them. If you have any ideas please let me know.

How do you join the USA swimming team? Do you have to be spotted? Is there a try out meet?

You know, the drill for back stroke or back fly kick requires you to push off from the wall in streamline position...
I ALWAYS inhale water up my nose, I guess I'm off balance...
Help?

The girls have a tough time, but they sometimes do it. Retrieve a 10 LB diving weight at the 16 ft pool bottom, First swim down, then pick up the weight with both hands, swim to the surface using your legs only. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PUSH OFF THE BOTTOM TO SURFACE. Kicking ONLY. It takes me usually about 1 minute, but then again I can stay underwater for over 4 minutes per dive. Anyone try this?

If someone were in open water just floating around, wouldn't a shark eat them? I mean, yeah, I've heard the whole seal argument, but why wouldn't they just eat them? Doesn't this happen all the time?

Like questions to ask, things to note or any tips...

I'm 19 and I can't swim yet and I'm determined to learn..but there are too many 'what ifs' in my head.

Help appreciated, Thanks!

A blow hard friend at work states that he and friend used to swim 26miles during their daily work out while they were in the military, I doubt it. Is a 26 mile swim a little far for a daily swim? would anyone do it even on a good day. I say nonsense.

because i'm training to be a lifeguard and i probably can't hold my nose with one hand the whole time now can i? I mean i'm good at most things swimming wise passed all the pretests and what not (even while using my hand to hold my nose for a small portion of it) but i can't be saving people with only one hand?!

someone please help me give me some tips on how i can get better, when i go down and try to blow out i run out of air to blow out within a second or so or it just stops blowing air out of my nose and instead water goes in my nose even when i'm holding my breath!

My swimming instructor tells me its because of my muscularity, but I think my lower back may be weak as I have a hard time keeping my legs horizontal. Any advice?
