I don't know how to swim

Anonymous
I swim like you, OP. And I have three kids in club swimming. One very talented. I don't need to be good at the things they're good at.

I dream to be able to swim as well as OP. I really can’t swim or float. I’ve taken adult swim lessons but get frustrated that I can’t even float. I made sure DCs took lessons early on and both are great swimmers in all 4 strokes. I’m proud of the fact that I got them to learn at an early age. I’ve been thinking about trying to learn again - we’ll see.

What's your goal? I'm a mediocre swimmer but it doesn't interfere with my life, and when I do swim I get a great workout precisely because I'm so inefficient: it takes a huge amount of energy just to get across the pool. So in that sense, I count it as a positive.

If you can swim breaststroke, you can swim.

Please don’t let your weight stop you from swimming if you want to swim. Fellow fat lady-and people are too busy doing their own thing to notice you, I promise!

How many hours of lessons do you think it takes to teach an adult newbie circular breathing, treading water, and freestyle?
