Yes, I love going swimming - be it at the beach or just in a pool. That being said, I don't know how to swim. At all. I can't even float. My husband keeps trying to teach me, bless his heart. But I can't, for the life of me, coordinate my flailing arms and legs. I just bob up and down in a pool, or piggy back on my husband's back when we're out in the ocean (sexy, I know) I feel so darn upset! :(

aww. So you like going for swimming but you don't know how to swim.. I myself get cramps on my leg when I try swimming. My granny had taught me to swim. she is excellent swimmer. In your case I think if you really want to learn, you go for some classes. You can benefit from it. thanks for sharing. have a wonderful day.

Thanks for the suggestion! I guess I will take some classes, but I would have to put that off for a few years, because my daughter is still a baby and I have my hands full. :)

I was lucky that my parents made sure that my siblings and myself knew how to swim from an early time in my life. With that said, for adults that don't know how to swim, I would think that the best thing that they can do is to enroll in adult swim lessons. It is possible to learn to swim at any point in a person's life, but the techniques of teaching an adult to swim are a lot different than the techniques that are used to teach a child how to swim.

Hey there! I have the same problem as you!!! I really wanna learn how to swim because I love swimming also.. I'm not sure if I can't learn how or I just don't really try hard enough.. I haven't gone to the beach or pool in a long time.. :(

i also like to swim, i can swim in class 3 of elementary school after learned by father and then i follow the swimming club. indeed according to most others, swimming is rather difficult to learn when people became adult, but many of my friends were finally able to swim as an adult. maybe you can start to learn to swim using float or follow a swimming course in your where its has some easy methode of swimming for an adult. Good luck and go ahead.
