I'm one of those few who are classified as being unteachable. Even the Red Cross gave up on me. I took swimming lessons as a kid, but after several years the best I could do was hold my breath underwater for 4-1/2 minutes. When I...

I remember being forced into enrollment in swim lessons at five or six years old. I was a brat. I hated my swimsuit and would "lose" it. Once I had it on, I would whine until the minute it came off. (I despise swimwear to this day and...
