Actually, it's extremely hard for certain adults to learn to swim.  My mother did not learn to swim as a child and she tried many different times, with many different instructors, as an adult, and was just not able to learn.  As a result, she made sure that all of her kids became good, strong swimmers, because she knew she could never save us.  We also never swam unless a life guard was present. [/quote]
Thank you for this.  I had already decided to stop defending the fact that I don't know how to swim (no oceans for me!) but the fact is that so far I have failed 3 sets of classes as an adult.  It's true that I haven't taken any classes in a while, but at this point my focus is on getting my kids where they need to be.  It's funny that the oldest is now encouraging me to take lessons and I might just do it in a year or two with them or solo but there is no time or money at the present moment for other-than-kid-swim-lessons.  I think I need private lessons and that can't happen right now.  I asked my husband to teach me once, and we almost got divorced that day.  :D [/quote]
