EmersonFish Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Can't really swim. I suppose if I was dropped in the middle of a pool, I could get to the edge, but in a real world survival situation, I'm toast. Probably why I go a little overboard with my kids as far as pushing them to become swimmers. At least my daughter might get a swim team scholarship out of it. 1 Quote

For the most part, we're alone in the can't swim department. I for sure thought there would be way more people that didn't know how. Quote
Shak Muscles Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 I would say just learn on your own. You don't really need lessons if you are just trying to learn the basics of how to swim (freestroke) Start of on the shallow end and keep air in your lungs and you should naturally float. Once you have wading down, you can try to actually swim. As long as you hold your breath while swimming you should never sink. Keep the feet moving, and if you want you can even swim with your head above the water without holding your breath. I think YouTube videos will help out a ton on the technique. Quote
