It was going to be a double date and all of us are suppose to be swimming but the thing is i'm 16 i know it's weird i don't know how to swim and the beach party is a week a way what should i do? P.s With out my boyfriend finding out!

Answer 1

My grandmother can't swim just like you, so don't worry, you're not the only one. Of course, she does regret that she never learned how to. I think the best thing to do would be to take lessons so you don't regret it later. Or you can stay where it's shallow. Or just tell your boyfriend. I don't think you'll stay in a relationship together for long if you aren't honest with each other. And he should understand. Then, he can help you learn. Good luck! :)

Answer 2

take swimming lessons in the next week or just be honest. what kind of relationship do you expect to have with him if you cant tell him the truth, even about something silly like not knowing how to swim.

Answer 3

go to a community pool an learn from a parent or friend or go to the beach and learn quickly get help from someone older like mom/dad or even your friend

Answer 4

stay in the shallow end where you can stand. let everyone know tht u cant swim. its nothing to be ashamed of. just try to make the best of it. anyone can have fun at a beach party, even if you cant swim.  

Answer 5

well it's a beach right? who said you had to go deep enough that you were in the position that you had to swim. just go a little bit more than waist deep and then go on your knees and just take a dip in. and besides, i've had a guy who couldn't swim and i thought that it was adorable, and i decided i would teach him how to swim, and we had this whole cheesy bonding thing for a few weeks and i taught him how to swim, and it only brought us together. cheesy, i know, but who says cheesy is always bad?

Answer 6

Sounds like you're ashamed of not being a swimmer.  It's no biggie, it's the same as if you weren't a smoker or a drinker, you just let everyone else do what they do and you do what you do.  You're letting yourself be peer pressured....that's dumb!

Answer 7

its ok i dont know how to swim either and im 17 :) maybe tell ur boyfriend, he might think its cute, i told mine and he offered to give me swimming lessons. urs might not have the reaction u think he will. or just dont go in the water, say u dont want to swim, or just go in deep enough so u can still touch the bottom.
