you could do it as long as you wear a life vest or some sort of flotation device on your body. you will also need a mask or goggles. practice in a baby pool or in the bath tub to get used to how the water feels on your face.

It would be ideal to be able to swim, but its not necessary. You can wear an inflatable life jacket and flot but in shallow water. And definately you make sure you do it with an instructor close by just incase something goes wrong...but remember to have fun and don't get paranoid.

Yeah you do need to know how to swim or at least to float on water. Snorkeling requires to go underwater and come up for air. But when I went they had those noodles. If you don't know how to swim then there is the noodle.

It's like the walk before you can run concept...try swimming before you can snorkle...

They usually have floatations belts that you can wear to make it easier. As long as you can doggy paddle and swim enough that you would be safe, yoiu should be fine. But, you should still practice swimkming a bit. it will make everything easier.

Do it with a life jacket and then all you have to be able to do is put on some flippers and kick...just dont do it alone and you should be just fine

you can! Just wear a life jacket or armbands. If the water is clear it's not like you have to go deep.

You should know the bascs of floating on your stomach and kicking lightly at the same time.If you do that you will be fine.

yes you have to go underwater and swim to keep yourself just below the water
