It takes practice but the biggest thing is to remain calm and know your instructor won't let anything happen to you! I taught swimming for years and the more trust you have in your instructor the easier it is for both of you. I am so proud of you and I am sending you all kinds of good thoughts and vibes!!

Either he's a crook or you are afraid of the pool.I was about 8 or 9 and my mom enrolled me in a swimming class. I was doing okay the first couple of days, but the instructor decided for some reason to implement a "technique". He felt that I would progress faster if he just threw me in the deep end, literally, because I would have to swim. Obviously I didn't and I refused to attend the class again. I don't think I'm afraid of the water, because I've drowned about half a dozen times in my life trying to swim and I still try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you one thing, we need a whole new level of swimming skills to swim in the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
