I agree start at out slow, and inch your way, always remember to kick your feet and move your arms, you can teach yourself how to swim. It takes time, just be careful and never swim alone.
I am gonna bet you have been in a close call of drowning in your time and fear water. The fear will go away but you have to conquer it, or you will always be afraid of the water. I almost drowned with I was a kid and took me a while, but I love to swim now.
I suggest telling your parents, and see if they will put you in a beginners swimming class or teach you themselves I am sure they will. You just have to express to them how scared you are and they should understand :) Best of luck and happy swimming :)

My Uncle and I taught my Aunt to swim by throwing her into the deep end of the pool. She went to the bottom so we gave her a little time. Sure enough she started to paddle with her hands and kick with her feet and swam back to the top. She has been able to swim ever since. I think everyone knows how to swim they just have to figure out they know how.

Get in the water and play around. NO! I don't mean with the boys, but just play around in the water. Go in about waist deep and sit down. Then stand up again. Don't swallow any of that water. Hold your breath.
Splash around a bit. Keep putting your head under water. Pick up things from the bottom. Get used to the water. Try floating. Have fun

i imagine black human beings and swimming is only a cultural aspect. i'm particular black human beings are merely nice at it, it is merely that commonly black neighborhoods have not come round to introducing and accepting the game. so some distance as black human beings operating quick and asian's being smart, it is genetics. I mean there's a such aspect as biology and there are adjustments between the races, no longer that that makes absolutely everyone race more desirable than the different, merely different. it is kinda like the feminist circulation coming alongside with their political correctness putting forward that women and boys are a similar and that we are in basic terms taught that they are different. That the concept that ladies are evidently extra nurturing and emotional and adult males are extra effective and sparkling questioning is made up. it is no longer made up, biology does exist, no sex or race is larger than the different, yet all of them have some different traits. besides the undeniable fact that at the same time as biology exist, it is complicated and there are distinct many adult males that imagine extra like a ladies (no longer merely the gay ones) and there are distinct many ladies that imagine extra like a guy (no longer merely the lesbians). at the same time as it includes race there are particular characteristics that are worry-loose for someone to inherit in the journey that they seem to be a particular race, besides the undeniable fact that it is via no means certain. clone of if being sturdy at math runs on your relatives there continues to be an highly sturdy risk that you'll have a sibling it is terrible at math or once you've an highly evidently athletic relatives you'd be quite terrible at activities. Being smart and being a short runner are genetic issues that would properly be inherited and they do run maximum of the time particularly races, besides the undeniable fact that it is genuinely no assure and genetics/biology of individuals is quite complicated it is totally ignorant to crew an complete continent of individuals into one user-friendly gene pool-stereotypes waayy over simplify issues. the perfect aspect to do is to in basic terms decide human beings as someone and ignore about the stereotyping.

you need some one to help you learn, go into the water in very low water like 2 feet and sit until you start to feel comfortable, that might get you started. you need to learn and not be scared beacuse that how people drown in water, because they get scared,

find a friend or someone you trust and have them help you or go to your local swimming center and ask them if there are classes you can take for this
