I Can't Swim

I Went to the Leisure Centre Today

Swimming...I can't do it, most people I guess would learn to swim as a child but I never did.

I went to my local leisure centre today as I planned to teach myself to swim finally but my co-ordination isn't so good and It's a difficult thing to do I think!

I love being in the water but I all I do is walk (or float) around in the pool. Maybe I should make learning to swim a goal of mine!

Like AngelJ I love being in the water but only walk (or float) in the pool as my co-ordination isn't too good. However I do enjoy peeing through my swimsuit while in there so it goes secretly into the water.

Get lessons! :D I can swim a bit, but am thinking of trying to totally revamp my technique, because I suck at it. I'm thinking of learning the Total Immersion method, which aims to try and make swimming about moving in a more fishlike manner, but I haven't sampled it yet, so I can't tell you if it's any good :) Anyway, swimming is not too hard to pick up with a few lessons! It'll give you a great sense of water freedom and confidence, and using the swimming aids makes things so much easier.

Go for it. I don't remember ever learning how to swim I was so young. I can't swim very quickly, or with any form, but just splashing around in the pool, and figuring out how to not drown maybe all you need.
