Hello!
Maybe you don't know how I learned swimming when I was young. When I was a primary student, I often went to the river with my classmates. I coundn't swim at the beginning. So I dared not go to the deep water, for I couldn't swim. I just played at the shallow water. I never forgot that day. when I was playing at the shallow water, suddenly a big boy push me into the deep river. I stragglled in the water for the shallow water. In the end, I tried my best to swim to the bank by drinking much water. But at last, I learnt swimming. It was a miracle.

Good for you. But i still have to stay away from water because i still don't know swimming. Also i am afraid of deep water. So i don't know if i will even think about swimming

Hi!
It doesn't matter. There are many other sports you can play. You can get happiness from something else if you like. If you don't like it, just forget it.
Have fun!

Hello taskata10, Welcome to myLot! I am glad that you made it back well when that boy pushed you over the deep end.
I like swimming also and I learned it not until I was in my first year in college. I was afraid of going to the deep end of the water in pools or beaches when I was a kid and even just to try. It was at downtown YMCA pool that I had the courage to learn swimming when I saw little kids as young as 2 years old wading and swimming in the pool. Since then on I loved swimming and would stay long in the water whenever I am in one. :-)

Hi!
I'm glad that you can swim now. You are right. Before anyone learns to swim, he must overcome the scare of being drowned or something dangerous. But if there is a good swimming teacher, it's not a difficult job to learn swimming. Even today, when I swim in the middle of the river, I still have a sense of scare. But I can forget it in a minute.
