Some fitness centers (i.e lifetime) offer swim lessons for adults.

There was a thread on this awhile back you might search for. Check your county rec guide -- I know Montgomery County has a whole series of adult beginner classes.

Where are you located? There are lots of adult swim classes at my pool in Rockville and they are affordable.

This day and age, we should all be able to swim but I don't know how. I want to learn! Where? Is it expensive? or do i just go into the pool and start moving. I did that, didn't work so well. However, I can float on my back but only if I know the water is not deep beneath me. I hear it's harder for adults to learn.
