i am sorry to hear that, swimming is such a wonderful form of exercise,.....i urge you to take lessons,
don't learn the way i did,
my Mom threw me off our innertube at Stoughton Pond when i was 4 years old and i heard her yell 'swim or drown'.
not the way i did it with my kids, but whatever...........

Yup. My mom forced me to take 7 years of swimming lessons until I completed all the courses, and I was also on the swim team for three years. Water's not so bad once you get acquainted with it. Good luck though!

Yes I can. You have to get over the fear of water in order to swim. It isn't that difficult.

i can only do backstroke properly.
i have a problem getting my head out of the water to breathe with other strokes.
almost everyone would start learning swimming being a little hydrophobic. give yourself a little more time and i'm sure you can do it too.

Kind of. I taught myself how to swim. I just got in a pool one day and figured that I'd either sink or swim. I'm just glad I didn't sink. Lol.
